Co-Worker Has Bone Cancer - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

80s_Fan · 10-15-2006, 04:30 PM

I found out thursday night at work that one of our fellow co-workers has bone cancer and he's only 24 so I have been told. So far; he's doing chemotherapy but no other update has been given to us as of yet.

A card has been signed for him and money has been given and we all hope and pray that he will beat this and be just fine. I know that cancer is deadly and everything but he's such a good person; a good worker and so forth.

Nobody deserves this but I know that it happens but it's not fair when it happens to someone who's good in every way possible. I will keep you posted when I find out more. Please say a prayer for him and his family.

Thanks!!

I'm sorry to hear about your co-worker. That's just so young. Cancer is like a monster, and you never know when it will strike.

Prayers for your friend. That's very sad.

Is it Osteogenic Sarcoma? Where is it located?
Im just curious because my brother had it when he was 7 and now hes 24 and cancer free.
I also had a friend and she had it too, and she was only 15. She is fine now.
Your co-worker can and will beat it.
Its always good to hear stories from people who have beat it.
I send prayers for him.

That is horrible

I had a close coworker recently lose his battle with cancer and he was only 21. It is a very cruel disease but do have hope as there have been many breakthroughs with treatments and I personally know of 3 people who have beaten it. Never give up hope.

Cheers

Oh that's sad to hear. I pray he beats this cancer.

How awful

I will say a prayer for your friend. Cancer is such a terrible disease and no one is immune from it.

I'm so sorry! I get scared all the time. I have a lot of cancers in my family. My grandmother is dying from colon cancer right now, so I know. It's terrible.

My prayers are with you, him, and his family and friends! Keep us updated.

My late mother died from colon cancer on January 16, 2005 and I miss her terribly. She waited too long so it spread everywhere so there was no hope.
I'm so sorry to hear about your grandmother and everything. I had some relatives (mostly on my mother's side) that died from some type of cancer.
My thoughts and prayers are with you too and keep us posted on your grandmother. Thanks for your concern too.

Nighthawk76 · 10-16-2006, 05:23 PM

I'm sorry. There has been a lot of cancer related deaths in my family too. In late 2003 I had a lump in my throat for about a month and it scared me to death. Thankfully, it turned out to be nothing serious.

80s_Fan · 10-21-2006, 01:23 PM

Hey All,

I have an update on my fellow co-worker and unfortunately it's not good.
He's in the hospital; in (isolation) for about 6 days and nobody is allowed to go see him, maybe only his immediate family is allowed though. Anyways, he's not ready to see anybody and I can't blame him; he's pretty bummed out but he's trying to stay upbeat, I guess....I know that I would find it hard to stay happy and hopeful. It's hard to stay positive when you are in that state.

One of my other co-workers is waiting to get a phone call to say that it's ok for her to go and see him; until then she can't and has to wait for that call.
He's supposed to have surgery to have metal bars put into his legs. At the present time he's doing radiation and chemotherapy.

If we want to write him a letter and/or give him a card; or anything for that matter; we can and then give it to her; and when she can go see him well then she would give it to him. She still hasn't gone to give him the big card that we all signed and also raised money for him; over $400.

All we can do for now is to pray for him and hope that he beats this all the way. We all feel so bad for him and for everything that he has to go thru.
When I have more updates; I will post them. Until then, please pray for him.

Here's another update on my fellow co-worker with bone cancer.
He's home and can't walk anymore; must use a wheelchair.
As soon as I get more updates then I will post them; please pray for him.

My prayers are with your co-worker and his friends and family.
