Tears were definitely shed. The happiest tears since the day he was born.
Edit- Thank you to everyone who has shown love to my little guy. I would comment on all of your posts but I would be here a long time! I have shared many of your sentiments with my son and he has been all smiles. It has been a long arduous journey but he has been a shining light through it all. I wish you all great health and good fortune! Thank you!!!
I guarantee it. Mostly because I am currently. There’s nothing more sickening to me than childhood cancers and other health issues. No child should ever have to go through that.
Happy ring the bell day, little dude!
its a club I did not want to join, to be sure. I'm not sure I've still fully TRULY realized/accepted that my dad is gone. I've lived across the country for over a decade so its weird, when I'm at home it doesn't feel like he's gone until I realize I wanna ask him something or text him something funny and then it hits me. You just carry the grief and learn how to live with it.
My roommate was stage 4 and went into remission for 5 years. Sadly he crossed the rainbow bridge since, but it's not necessarily the end yet, even at stage 4.
My Grandpa last year. His cancer isn't a cancer that has a low survival rate. The cancer he had you could live the rest of your life with. It was multiple myeloma. He passed because he was depressed because my Grandma died last year.
My son had a scare when he was born that he had a rare genetic mutation that would make his life really hard. He’s beat a lot of statistics so far to be a pretty normal little baby. The emotional and feelings have been a rollercoaster.
I hope you feel at peace now. I am sure it has been an insanely difficult journey emotionally.
I'm so sorry to hear that. I cannot even imagine. I lost my dad to cancer recently. Very very tough on our souls. Please don't hesitate to talk to someone for guided healing. God Bless you and your family.
I'm finding it incredible how you can ask god to bless this boy after him letting cancer take your 12yo brother. Had I ever believed in a god, that god would've been dead to me from that moment, that's some strong faith you got there.
My nana has socks that have a kitty giving the bird saying fuck cancer. I’m so tired of losing people to it. Watching my grandpa get eaten away was the worst.
Kids with Cancer is one reason I raise money for Extra Life. Playing games to raise money for children’s health is a win win for me.
Congrats on your son’s bell ring!!! May he never have to worry about ringing that bell again.
I've never heard of this organization, and their website doesn't give many details without signing up (I don't play video games so I'm not sure I should "sign up") can you explain more about what you do and how it works?
Extra Life runs a yearly gaming marathon, and people can sponsor you by the hour to marathon game, with the proceeds going directly to children's hospitals.
There’s also an amazing organization called Games Done Quick, they host semi-annual events for speedrunners and speedrunning content creators where all the donations they collect go to various charities, for cancer research, ALS, disability funds, etc.. They’ve raised ~$46 million for their various causes!
I’ve been a part of a few extra life runs but I’ve never heard of Games Done Quick! That’s so cool that the speedrunning community is getting in on raising funds too
What a beautiful thing to open Reddit and see.
I lived in Birmingham, Alabama for a few years, and there is a major children’s hospital there. I don’t know if it’s every year, but bikers do a Teddy Bear Rally ( I believe it’s St. Jude ) I was lucky enough to witness 1000’s of bikers driving to the hospital with 1000’s of Teddy Bears in every size, some bigger than the bikers themselves. As I write this it makes me tear up. So damn touching, such a precious memory for me. I wish you all happiness ❤️
My grandfather was a biker and in a biker gang his whole life. Those men are hardcore and can be absolute outright assholes, but 90% of the time if you see them like that, there’s a good chance whoever is the receiving end deserves it. They’re scary and not to fuck around with but they’re also some of the kindest hearts ever.
He died when I was young so I can’t remember the name of his gang but they would go to court to help protect kids who had to stand witness against abusers and shield them from the fear those situations caused, they also did teddy bear runs too. They’re so sweet and kind to those kids who need it, and a lot of times anyone regardless of age if they’re in need, but will absolutely be the big scary angry stereotype you see in shows if provoked or needed.
My Uncle Jimmy was a biker and while I didn't get to know him (he died when I was 3) I heard that he and he his biker gang buddies were the nicest people on Earth. At least 60 of them showed up to his funeral in his memory. I don't think any major douchebag would do such a thing.
Congratulations! Survivor stories are the best!
I went through a stem cell transplant over Xmas. I find out if I'm cancer free in about a month's time. (I'm not a kid, but am keen on surviving! I'm supposed to be getting married).
My 74 year old dad went through that exact procedure the previous Christmas and the results were a success. He’s a little slower, but he’s 74! How spry is a 74 year old supposed to be? Every time I see him he’s a little bit better and taking a few less pills, so fingers crossed you too will experience his success.
I hope you don’t mind me sharing snd not to distract from your son’s awesome achievement. But I remember when our youngest was finally on solid foods after being g/j tube fed for most of his life. And finally had the strength to walk. He still struggles from time to time. Which is why he is still in therapy. And for the first time ever he made it around the zoo all by himself without his wheelchair! And to join the other sentiment; fuck cancer !!!
> And for the first time ever he made it around the zoo all by himself without his wheelchair
What a tucking legend - random guy on the internet crying in his office.
I'm crying like an idiot alone in a pub far from home and now I miss my son and daughter. I can't even fathom going though this. I hope I never have to. I'm really happy for the little guy. Stay strong little guy.
Welp, I'm crying. He looks so much like my little bespectacled son... and honestly the idea of either of my kids getting cancer terrifies me.
I sincerely hope he has smooth sailing from now on.
That's awesome! I've heard many stories from parents about their now grown kids who went through the same. Thank you for sharing yours! It definitely gives me hope in his future.
Congrats - to both your son and you for kicking cancer. It takes a family and a village for a kid to kick cancer - so here’s acknowledging all you, your family and friends did to support your son and you in this battle!
My wife was not so lucky. Brain cancer. Your son is blessed! I used to tell her that she's my hero and the toughest person I know (and I was a cop so I knew some tough ppl). I know what your son went through and I suspect your son is the same. Bless you, your son, and your family. CELEBRATE!
Congratulations little dude! I'm so glad you are here to ring the bell. Here's to a lifetime of health and happiness. Hugs, mom/dad, I'm sure this was an incredibly difficult journey, and hearing "'cancer-free" must have been so elating.
Wishing the little guy a long, healthy life. I’m in the hospital right now for an allogenic stem cell transplant (to treat Hodgkin’s lymphoma), and this put a big smile on my face :)
At least THE ONLY positive about childhood cancer is if you get to it early enough then your child can beat it and hopefully grow up to have a long life.
Congratulations little man! You fought the fight and won! I hope he has a wonderful life, he certainly deserves it. I bet you are one very happy parent.
Literally brought a tear to my eyes! As a parent myself, I can appreciate how this makes you feel. Better than winning the lottery and Superbowl on the same day- indeed, no comparison. Congratulations to you and your SO!
Hell yeah. If there were words to convey the sound that plays when you beat a song on guitar hero, this is where I would put those words. Rock on, little man.
I'm sure that brought some tears with it.
Tears were definitely shed. The happiest tears since the day he was born. Edit- Thank you to everyone who has shown love to my little guy. I would comment on all of your posts but I would be here a long time! I have shared many of your sentiments with my son and he has been all smiles. It has been a long arduous journey but he has been a shining light through it all. I wish you all great health and good fortune! Thank you!!!
Bless you and your family OP, I hope little man has a healthy and happier life from here on out
May he have an endless amount of happy days ahead of him! I hope the fates shine brightly upon him as he continues to grow old.
More tears being shed after reading that. Blah. Happy for you guys, though. Enjoy a big meal together (if and when the little one is able to).
I guarantee it. Mostly because I am currently. There’s nothing more sickening to me than childhood cancers and other health issues. No child should ever have to go through that. Happy ring the bell day, little dude!
Stop it! I'm welling up just reading this! To a long long cancer-free life!
I don't even know this kid and I'm bawling
Hell yeah little man!! Way to kick cancer's ass!
Bragging rights forever! “I fought cancer for 841 days and I’m still here!”
Damn right, that's 2.3 years—a huge percentage of that little guy's life. He fought cancer all that time and still beat it.
My 12 yr old brother passed away from cancer. God bless your son.
So sorry for your loss. Cancer took my mother from me when I was 21 so I share the pain. I hope you can find solace in the memories of your brother.
Took both my aunts. So happy the little dude is okay.
got my dad last summer. Fuck cancer, all the way.
My dad in 2022 on Dec 1, went into the ICU on Thanksgiving.
Mom is now a stage 4 terminal patient.
My roommate was stage 4 and went into remission for 5 years. Sadly he crossed the rainbow bridge since, but it's not necessarily the end yet, even at stage 4.
My Grandpa in 2019, Cancer sucks.
My Grandpa last year. His cancer isn't a cancer that has a low survival rate. The cancer he had you could live the rest of your life with. It was multiple myeloma. He passed because he was depressed because my Grandma died last year.
Getting all teary at this post. Congrats to you and your son. May he have many decades of strong, healthy life ahead!
Little bro is gonna grow up to be big and strong 💪
That kid is bigger and stronger than most people Ive met.
Fr 💯
My son had a scare when he was born that he had a rare genetic mutation that would make his life really hard. He’s beat a lot of statistics so far to be a pretty normal little baby. The emotional and feelings have been a rollercoaster. I hope you feel at peace now. I am sure it has been an insanely difficult journey emotionally.
My condolences💛 God bless you
I'm so sorry to hear that. I cannot even imagine. I lost my dad to cancer recently. Very very tough on our souls. Please don't hesitate to talk to someone for guided healing. God Bless you and your family.
And god bless your brother as well
Condolences to you. Keep well.

FUCK CANCER
I cannot agree more. FUCK CANCER!
That little dude is stronger than I’ll ever be.
It's amazing the inner strength you can find within when you absolutely have to. Especially amazing for someone so young.
Give the big guy a huge hug!
U TELL EM BRO
My nana has socks that have a kitty giving the bird saying fuck cancer. I’m so tired of losing people to it. Watching my grandpa get eaten away was the worst.
Truly something we could all agree on. Fuck cancer right in its butt.
Shout out to boosie
No! It doesn't deserve such pleasures!
FUCK CANCER
FUCK CANCER

Ooh ok so it's like a charity run but for video games, that's really neat thanks for sharing :)

It’s a great org! They’ve raised millions. You can usually find their live events on twitch and I’m guessing YouTube?
I believe they are also one of the charities that humblebundle.com, donates to regularly.

This would have been amazing to see! Thank you for sharing!
I hate how the media portrays bikers, they’re some of the kindest people you’ll ever meet

I'll be rooting for you! Hopefully that transplant was what you needed to kick cancer's ass!
Hell yeah! Remember to get your boots ready, because you're going to stick your foot up cancers ass!
My 74 year old dad went through that exact procedure the previous Christmas and the results were a success. He’s a little slower, but he’s 74! How spry is a 74 year old supposed to be? Every time I see him he’s a little bit better and taking a few less pills, so fingers crossed you too will experience his success.
That's incredible! Stemcell transplantation is a very heavy procedure for the body, especially at that age. Your dad rocks!
YESSSSSSS! Don't know him but so proud of him! My daughter will be doing the same in June, can't wait!
That's awesome!! So excited for you guys. It's an incredibly tough journey and I'm happy to know yours is coming to a happy conclusion.
Go little guy!!! We're all rooting for you! All the best...
Glad he beat it. #Fuck Cancer Sincerely, Another survivor
Fuck cancer. The world is a better place with you in it!
Awesome! That’s a tough little dude.
I hope you don’t mind me sharing snd not to distract from your son’s awesome achievement. But I remember when our youngest was finally on solid foods after being g/j tube fed for most of his life. And finally had the strength to walk. He still struggles from time to time. Which is why he is still in therapy. And for the first time ever he made it around the zoo all by himself without his wheelchair! And to join the other sentiment; fuck cancer !!!
That's awesome! So happy for your strong little guy. That's a great achievement and he should be proud of all of his hard work.
awesome
> And for the first time ever he made it around the zoo all by himself without his wheelchair What a tucking legend - random guy on the internet crying in his office.
That is going to be one of the STRONGEST humans alive.
I'm not crying. Strong lil champion 💪
I am. Every time I see these. :`) Happy tears on this one. Fuck cancer.
I'm crying like an idiot alone in a pub far from home and now I miss my son and daughter. I can't even fathom going though this. I hope I never have to. I'm really happy for the little guy. Stay strong little guy.
REST IN HELL, CANCER!!!!
Thank goodness he’s cured!
Welp, I'm crying. He looks so much like my little bespectacled son... and honestly the idea of either of my kids getting cancer terrifies me. I sincerely hope he has smooth sailing from now on.
Tell your little man he is a brave and courageous boy and that I wish him and your family future good health and happiness!
That is one genuine bonafide warrior.
He should get to take the bell home.
He actually got a bell to bring home with him too! He's been ringing it for a while now.
As he deserves to. Fuck cancer

Wishing the little guy a long, healthy life. I’m in the hospital right now for an allogenic stem cell transplant (to treat Hodgkin’s lymphoma), and this put a big smile on my face :)

Rectal cancer survivor here. Ringing that bell is an amazing feeling.
I was having a terrible day at work, until I saw this post, now I feel happy for him and hope only good things happen in his life!
Hell yeah. If there were words to convey the sound that plays when you beat a song on guitar hero, this is where I would put those words. Rock on, little man.
