Kobe Williams Support

Locust Grove, GA

Story

It has been a rough start of the year but it's all going to be okay. My son, Kobe had a bump the size of a Pea on his head since birth, about 7 month ago this bump started to grow. So I got it checked out, scanned and checked out again. Four doctors/surgeons told me it was a simple dermoid cyst. So it was finally removed in January... About a month ago I got a call that took me to a place I've never been before. The hardest call of my life really. Telling me that Kobe has a rare form of cancer. I didn't believe them. There's no way! He's normal! I refused to accept it and called Cincinnati childrens for a 2nd opinion, even though the doctors here in ATL were telling me that it's super urgent to get him in for treatment immediately. Maybe a week later another bump started to grow right next to the one we just had removed... this scared us and we knew then we couldn't chance waiting any longer. Myeloid sarcoma is what they call it. When found early they can treat with chemotherapy... if and when they start to show symptoms, it's basically too late to cure. So now it's all sorts of confusion for us but also GAME TIME. I've never questioned God or prayed so hard in my life. We get to the hospital, immediately he goes into surgery... they do a spinal tap, a biopsy on the new bump, bone marrow testing and an implant insert in his chest for chemo. Chemo started that same night. Because of his age we have to stay in the hospital for him to be monitored for a month at a time, 4 treatments. Watching your child go through this is hard! Watching your twin sons miss each other because they aren't together at home anymore is HARD! Hearing your baby say, "mommy I want to go home" is SO HARD! Estimated to be over by the end of August... We have a little warrior on our hands, I have faith that everything will be okay. We appreciate everyone for their kind words, help and most of all; prayers during this emotional process. Thank you.
