CancerDad Podcast - Neyland's Story: The Diagnosis
play

01/12/21 • 12 min

I am not one who plays the waiting game well at all.  It was especially hard having to wait on results from a test on your child, where the results would be life changing, or even life threatening, depending on what they were.  What did the results show?  Where does this journey go from here?  Tune in to find out!

Neyland has reached a point, in the story, where we are all taking on something new.  He is awaiting a bone marrow transplant, but the problem is, to have the transplant, you have to have a donor.  They were not locating a match for Neyland, so had to look elsewhere.  Who would be Neyland's donor?  Would we find a donor?  How would our family handle the process as a whole?  So many questions, and this episode will provide most of the answers

CancerDad Podcast - Neyland's Story: More Than Just a Game

We take a break from the medical side of things in this episode, to tell you about a pretty incredible story that occurred shortly before Neyland's bone marrow transplant.  A story that no one saw coming, and one that is still writing itself today.  A story of a bond between a young boy and his Bulldogs.  This is one that Hollywood couldn't write better if they tried
