My son passed

[ChazII]

March 6, 2020. He had the same type of brain cancer that Senators Kennedy and McCain had. His was in the thalamus and grew into the brain stem. His brain is being donated to Ivy Brain Tumor Center at Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix.

No parent should survive their children. It's every parent's fear. My mother had to bury her oldest son, my brother, who died six years ago of brain cancer (though I don't know they type), which had dogged him for more than 20 years.

So sorry for your loss.

[handmade34]

59. so very sorry

thank you for donating his brain

we lost a son last year and another was in an accident with a TBI...

I always think of Joe Biden's words when talking to families that have lost a child... "...when thinking of your loved one...there will come a day when a smile comes to your lips before a tear to your eye"

I still cry a bit when that smile comes

[AirmensMom]

My Deepest Sympathy

[riverbendviewgal]

67. My heart weeps for your loss of your son.

I can feel your pain because my son died when he was 26. He had glioblastoma multiform, the same as your son, Ted Kennedy, beau Biden and Gord Downie of the Tragically hip. Downie had the same doctor of my son.

In time the deepest hurt will subside but it hurts intensely like now for me being aware of your son's passing. I hope he passed peacefully.

[ms liberty]

197. And Neil Peart, the drummer and lyricist for Rush

Died January 7th, 2020 of the same thing, a glioblastoma. None of us as fans knew until after bc he was a really private person, but he may have been diagnosed before Gord died I think, and the bands were acquainted from what I've read. Rush made a public donation to the cause around that time, before Gord passed.
I am so sorry for your loss. My MIL lost her daughter and I know it changes a mother forever to live thru such a tragedy.

[riverbendviewgal]

235. Thank you for caring

🤗

[brer cat]

[Mersky]

70. Have had your message up in a tab for a while

Just thinking of what to say, and it’s hard cuz it’s one of those turns in life that isn’t fair. I’m mournful with you. Am sorry for your loss and what you must be going through right now. Is also a reminder to be kind to those we encounter, as you never know what folks are dealing with at any given time. Made a small donation to the institute you mentioned, as I am thankful for those striving to find a cure, which includes your family.

123. I am so sorry to read this.

My lifelong partner died last year of the same awful disease.

You have my heartfelt sympathy.

[ChazII]

137. Pardon my curiosity

but where in the brain was the tumor. We have a friend who also has the tumor in the thalamus and met someone whose tumor is in their frontal lobe.

I am sorry for your loss as well.

[thucythucy]

143. It was in both hemispheres

of her frontal lobes, a so-called "butterfly tumor."

Its location affected memory and impulse control. Radiation and chemo kept it stable for almost four years, but then stopped working.

She died at home, for which I'm grateful. We had excellent medical care, and then an excellent hospice team.

The grief is still overwhelming at times. But I'm also grateful for having had her in my life.

[ChazII]

173. Jay's tumor was in his thalamus as previous stated

but grew to brainstem. He was at home as well. Being in the thalamus his speech, breathing, eating, etc... were effected. His uncle and I took care of him for the past year. He also had excellent palliative and hospice team. Like your partner, Jay did here at home with me holding his hand as he took his last breaths.

I helped get him into the body bag and his uncle helped take the body from the hospital bed to the gurney.

[Bayard]

124. Parents should never have to bury their own babies....

I am so sorry. I hope, after awhile, you can celebrate his life.

I just lost my mother to the same glioblastoma brain tumor two weeks ago. It is a very difficult time your going through. Avail yourself to the support here it will help. I can't offer you words to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming it will still linger but I hope it helps to know others empathize with your situation.

[58Sunliner]

[PJMcK]

132. Such a sad loss!

My heart goes out to you, ChazII. My son is 24 and healthy and I've often lived in fear of the terrible things that could befall him.

You must be heartbroken! I hope you and your family will find peace.

[ChazII]

133. Thank you, DU family

for your kinds words of encouragement and support.

I am also a member of Eastern Star which is part of the Masonic family. Instead of flowers I have requested that donations be made to the Shriners Transportation fund. This fund helps pay expenses for the families that travel out of state for their child's care.

My oldest had two brain tumor operations. The original removed a tumor the size of a small tangerine.

[Ilsa]

204. I'm so sorry. I'll say a prayer for your family.

[AZ8theist]

205. My sympathies as well. ON THE PLUS SIDE..

Your selfless donation to the Barrow Institute in Phoenix is a wonderful way to commemorate your son. They are amazing people doing amazing work. If your son can help in any way towards advancing research, I applaud you for doing this.

I had brain surgery at Barrow in 2014 and the treatment, the people, the care and compassion was incredible. I, fortunately, was cured of my condition. Unfortunately, your son was unable to recover. Please be assured, however, that your incredible donation will advance the science and hopefully reduce another families distress in a time of need.

You are a saint for doing what you did. Again, my sincerest sympathies for your loss.

[ChazII]

208. It is good to hear that Barrow was

able to help you. They truly are a wonderful place. We learned that the group called Research for Life will use Jay's entire body. Barrow will use his brain. Research for life will study my son's neurofibromatosis and because he also has kyphosis/scoliosis orthopedic studies will be done.

The only draw back for me because I love to learn is that I will not get any information on the studies his body is helping. I am hoping that Dr. Sanai, his neurosurgeon, will recognize Jay's brain. Dr. Sanai is doing research and Jay's body will be part of that research project.

[AZ8theist]

217. They cured me.

I suffered for at least 6 years with trigeminal neuralgia. The attacks would cause excruciating pain. Facial pain that is indescribable. Pain that would knock a 250lb man to his knees. Medication wasn't working anymore. I eventually elected to have MVD surgery at Barrow. It changed my life. It was a cure.
While I grieve with you (I have a 23 yr old son and can't imagine what you're going through) I am teary eyed with pride due to your sacrifice and donation. Please be comforted in knowing that your son will help others. While you may not ever know what contribution your son made to the advancement of science and medicine, rest assured HE WILL CONTRIBUTE.

Best wishes,
Your friend, AZ8theist

213. I am so sorry for your loss

As I get older, I better understand the pain that comes with losing someone. I am so sorry for you and your family, while the pain will never go away - at least you will have the memories of times shared.

216. So sorry to hear this

My husband and I had a good friend who died with glioblastoma last January. Hard loss. But for a son? Devastating. We nearly lost our youngest son, so I can only imagine the depth of your loss. Btw, I think your donation to the Brain Tumor Center is extraordinarily generous and brave.

The best to you and your family.

223. Terribly sorry.

My daughter was killed in an automobile accident when she was 17. You never get over it, but as time passes, the pain does not dominate every waking moment of your life. If you have other children, you realize that they need you, so you gradually heal and slowly learn how to carry on.

[ChazII]

237. I am an only child and Jay was also an only child.

Your words bring comfort and wisdom. Jay's Godmother still has her parents who are in the early 90's, her brothers who are in their early 60's and her one son who is four years younger than Jay. Losing Jay is her first major loss. Your words will help me remember that she needs me as much as I need her.

241. Words fall so short of being comforting, or even useful.

As it's all I have, though, I want to tell you I'm on the verge of tears. I wish I had more.

[ChazII]

They help me get through my tears.
