Cashy’s Tumor Returns

Cashy Hyde is one of those kids you don’t forget. When I met him in April, he was about to turn 3 and didn’t seem to have a care in the world. He was playing with his brother, climbing on his dad’s lap and, generally, just being a kid. Behind those big brown eyes (and, gorgeous long eyelashes), you could barely see a hint of all that he’d been through. He played quietly while his dad told the tale of a brain tumor diagnosis, more near-death experiences than you can count and of the uncertainty of knowing whether or not your child would live until morning. Mike Hyde also told me — unflinchingly — of his decision to give his Cashy cannabis oil in his feeding tube to help ease his pain and cure his nausea. It was easy for Mike to tell the story - he believed in what he did. And, his son was finally cancer-free with his whole life ahead of him/ Melissa Luck , KXLY. More here. (KXLY photo)

DFO: This one hits close to home. I have a child who was diagnosed with a cancer tumor at 3 months old. I know what it’s like to sit in a waiting room while a doctor operates to save his life. And what it’s like to watch him sick in a hospital room as a result of chemotherapy when the world goes on around you.

Question: Have you ever thanked God for the health of your children?
