A resilient and joyful spirit, Tyler lives each day to the fullest with help from his family and the team at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. A brother, avid Minecraft player, and funny snuggle buddy - Tyler's story reminds us to never stop fighting and never take life for granted.

    I have a similar story. I ended up having ewings sarcoma at age 11. They told me it was just a sprain. I am grateful they found it when they did. a year and a half after i felt the pain, they came to realization that it was cancer and it had spread to my lungs. Now, I am cancer free. KEEP FIGHTING TYLER!

    I feel terrible even when my Love has pain after tooth-removing and I can't help him to take away the pain 100% successfully. Can't imagine how does it feel for a mother to see her little boy fighting with such a horrible experience. How does it feel to battle the fear and getting strong enough to smile and laugh. All of my respect goes to you, hero people! SoulPancake always makes me emotional :)

    I hate it when kids get cancer. I've been fighting cancer this last year and I wish I could prevent any kid from going through this. Thank you for sharing his wonderful story. Best of wishes for him.

      Gentle hugs to you for your battle witch Cancer. You have a big heart and think of others while you deal with your own story. That just shows how immensely kind you are. I think Cancer is attracted and attack the very best people. You are going to win your fight. Best Wishes to you too

      So far I am in remission. Hope to be that way for many decades. I just hate cancer so bad. It's bad enough when grown ups get it but babies and kids. I have a 7 and 3 year old. The thought of them going through this makes my stomach turn.

    • @Mandy7D7
      @Mandy7D7 9 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I am elated to hear that you are in remission! Congrats to you for kicking Cancer's arse.
      I know your kids are young but when they get to an age where they truly understand, they will be so proud of you.
      Here's to a long life with your children and all of the gifts life has for you.
