About a year ago I posted about my boy, now young man, Erik would tell me he had pain in his back, well from that, to special Dr's being flown into Bend just to have a look for them selves, and pass on a bill, for services, $3800.00 bucks.
Erik went to S.T.Charles to have Cancer work started, and in time would go to OHSU, well after the treatments here, and believe you me, he was 6'3" blond hair blue eyes, the Swede came out in him.
The treatments just about killed him, and anyone that has seen that knows what a person looks like.
He had 3 sessions, and all 3 he looked like death.
They sent him home, with some of the off the wall drugs names, but the end results, they put him into never/never land.
All this time his lovely wife and there too kids, Jenny & Shepard & Charty, they saw what drugs can do to you, Erik would talk 24/7, I said what are they giving you---SPEED.
After some time between me & my wife & his, we just had to tell him to get some thing different, this stuff well cause a hart a tack.
Erik went up to OHSU, I didn't want to go, and didn't, as in my mind if he didn't make it, I would always remember that last time we were together.
Erik went into the hospital, and they went to work on him, Erik would call on Thursday evening and give old dad, the run down, and I asked are the nurses good looking.
He spent 3 weeks at the hospital, and 2 weeks at a trailer park, the church brought the trailer over for him and pay for it all.
Erik was realest and he came home here in Bend, we saw him on the 7th, it was his 38th Birthday, we BBQ'ed and played with the kids, he looked grate, but tired, he said to Jenny that he was tired, and went into there bedroom to take a 10 minute nap.
I have been so busy with work, I have not had the time ( I do), just forgot, well no moor, when I want to call it's now.
So today I get going running here and there, and my Cell phone go's off, around 11, just before lunch, and it is my only son, calling me, old dad, this is Erik, hay I wanted to call you and thank you for being there when I need you, and just another thing, God has made me cancer free.
Good thing I was parked, I cry-ed so much I had to go home and change my shirt.
I than went down to my wife place of business, and be for I could say any thing, she says you run en another shirt, I said no, and we walked out side and we had a good cry together.
I could NOT BE HAPPIER.
Thanks to good Dr's and THE GOOD LORD ABOVE, OUR HEAVENLY FATHER.

Thank you all for the prayers, They Work.

My stress level is way down.

At first, I didn't want to read your post, I thought it might contain some sad news. I know we must take the good with the bad, but at times, I feel like I'm better off being ignorant. I'm glad I open and read your post :yay:

Edddie and jokester, I too dreaded reading something I didn't want to have happen. But praise to God for Eric's health! I remember the first post about Eric and how serious and almost hopeless the situation seemed. Again praise to God for the turn around.

I'm glad you had the good news to share, not what I expected the last line to read.
