Lance My Little Friend!
You amaze me!!! You have a wonderful relationship with God, he has special plans for you...One of his plans, I'm sure is to show us all what it means to have strength, courage and faith, you've succeeded! Go get 'em mister! If anyone has it in them to fight this thing, it's you! Thinking of you every day and praying for you and your family.

I am Khyla Anderson's grandmother and Jennifer Anderson's mom. I can hardly see the screen through my tears. I saw you at the hospital when Khyla was in for chicken pox. My tears won't do you any good so my prayers and love go out you, Lance, and your family. Your courage leaves me speechless. May you be the miracle we all hope for. Marty Walters

Hi Lance,

You keep forging forward!!!!!!!! FIGHT HARD! I know my little angel buddy, John Russell, is keeping eye out for all of his pals here. I will put in another prayer request to him tonight. You have one big support team and we are all ready to stand behind you as you climb this mountain and forge through it fast! Stick a few steps ahead of these nblast bugs!! FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT Lance! Get plenty of sunshine, I just read in my health magazine (and I have also read in many other places) that people with cancer/other diseases should get a healthy dose of sunshine daily. So, get out and fill that soul with all of the rays that you can. Sounds like you had quite a night with your friends...I am sure you made some wonderful movies! Thinking of you in Minnesota!! Sending many prayers and much support your way- FIGHT!!!

Love,
Shannon

Hi Lance,
I am praying that the pain subsides and you will feel better very soon. I want you to be well, and to know that I think of you very much even though we have not seen eachother too much. Your birthday is coming, and I was wondering what you want? Hugs & kisses, and may blessings come in the unexpected hours, to make your day a little better.
I love you.

Hi Y'all (sorry, just talked to someone from Texas). I hope that you have got the pain under control. Lance I wish I knew what God's plans are for you. I look at all of the entries here and listen to the stories that your mom tells me and I have no doubt that you have touched many lives with your courage. I often wondered what God's plans were for Justin. Though I know what some are now, like leading me towards Christ, it often seems like you're just hitting your head against the wall sometimes. I guess that all you can do is just pray and know that one day we will understand. Just wanted you to all to know that I pray for you guys all of the time.

Dear Justine and Lance,
Thank you for the update. I'm so sorry to hear of all the pain you're having to endure Lance. I wish I could take it all away for you. When you get discouraged and think that nothing good has come out of this, remember this...you've gained many friends who are thinking of you constantly and praying for you, and the bond the two of you have created with each other is amazing! You continue to share moments (in spectacular places) that only the two of you know. Keep the faith! We are too!

Just want you to know we love you all and pray for you. Keep on trying and Never ever give up. I admire you for not listening to anyone when they say give up. Try everything you can to defeat this thing. Rebuke it and send it packing.

Lance and family, I am sorry to hear that you are in so much pain right now. I hope that it gets under control. That was the hardest thing to handle with my Trinity being so ill. She was so strong but had so much pain towards the end it was so very hard to handle. Be strong, I know it is not fair or right but know that everyone loves you and wishes you well. Sorry we can't make it all go away! I wish so bad I could take all the pain and suffering away from each small child and their families. I continue to pray for you and think of you often.
PS. My brother and family live up by your photo! Neat pictures!

Hi Justine & Lance,

My son Jay is currently receiving treatment at MSKCC for NB4. He was diagnosed 1/2002, exactly 2 years after Lance, and Jay and Lance share a birthday, but Jay is 2 years older. Jay and I absolutely loved the pictures of Lance with Kelly! Jay's biggest wish right now is to get a Golden retriever puppy! We've been living away from home for the last year, so that wish will have to be put on hold for awhile.

Lance, you look great! I am glad that you are feeling much better, and I hope that things go well for you in Washington.

Take care,

Virginia & Jay

I'll pass on commenting about the other person in the picture that's eating Pizza, I'll let Amanda handle that. Whas up wif dat girl anywas? like she nuts bout joo ;\

Justine,
Sorry for bugging you about an update, but Dona and I were checking every day for an update and we couldn't stand it anymore ;) We are praying that this treatment is what will CURE Lance so you all will not have to worry about treatments again. I hope that you are holding up well and I'm very glad that you two are getting to spend so much good time together.

Eric,
Hope you are doing well. I've lost your email address. I was trying to get a hold of youe earlier in the week. I even looked you up on the net, but got your old phone number. If you have time, drop me a line with your mail address. Hang in there dude

Lauren,
I've only seen a picture of you, but I thought I would write you anyway. I hope that you are doing okay through this. I'm guessing that it's hard for you to go through this. What I've found works for me the best is praying at night. Take Care

All,
Dona and I are praying that all goes well with you all. Take care and we will be in touch through prayer and email ;)

Hi Lance & Justine,
Lance I am so happy that you will be able to go for treatment next week 1/6/03. You & Mom keep your faith that this will be the treatment for you.
When I looked at your birthday, it jump out at me....I had never heard of this untill Josh was having his birthday this pass year. "It's Your Golden Birthday "You will be 13 on March 13th. It will never happen again. It's when your age is on the date of your birthday. In Knoxville,TN. we call it "The Golden Birthday" Josh was 10 on July 10/02. Plan a big birthday, because it's your golden year. Josh ask me why
we didn't do his with the "gold childhood ribbon " and have all his gifts gold, (we did not think about it in time.)Lance just giving you some hints (haha), but it is a special birthday.
I will be thinking about you & Your mom, and more than that I will keep you in my prayers.I will check back after you start your treatments, The more I think about you & your boat, I can just see you & Josh together. He would love your boat & I bet you would love his four wheeler. Your friend Lou/mom to sherry/grandmother to Josh P.age10 dx.IV 6/01.josh's HAMA is NEG, he will be going to MSKCC 2/03

Hi Lance and Justine,
I was just thinking about you guys and thought that I'd leave a message in your guestbook. I was just thinking about you telling Justin what a Dolphin's breath smelled like and smiled. I'm thinking that my breath is kind of smelling like that now. I need a breath mint! We will keep praying for you guys and hope for comfort and peace for you all.

Your site is good and the Christmas Tree was cool too, that Raymond set up. I'm feeling down in my own problems and then I started looking at stuff and ended up here and even though I was sick for 4 days It was really nothing by comparrison. I am continually praying for you Lance and Justine. You are so very strong and brave with all you are going through. I'm with you in trying to understand how much more a person can stand in these kinds of situations. But God...Keep the faith He is always with you, He will NEVER leave you nor forsake you. No matter what the situation looks like or what it feels like. Love Renda

Just wanted to say "Hello" on this 2002 Christmas Day. Rufus and I had a very quiet Christmas as we are having our regular Christmas dinner tomorrow. Because of schedules, it worked out better for family members. Yesterday was our very busy day. We left the house about 10am and didn't get home until after mid-night. We are thinking of you and keeping prayers going every day..... Hugs to you all.

Dearest Lance and Justine,

My love and prayers go out to all of you. (so you know who I am, I am the friend of Alicia Hansen's who was there when you got your puppy for Christmas) I have returned from time to time to read your web pages and keep updated on you. You see, my cousin's son (my 2nd cousin) has cystic fibrosis and has had many hospital stays and close circumstances all through his short life. He is 13 now. I do know how difficult it is to live with such a monster and I just want you to know that my heart is with you. I wish for you this Christmas a pain free day and weeks to come. You look wonderful in your boat. I bet you have the best time out there with the birds singing and the nature that is all around you. God has given us many wonderful things to look at, touch, and feel. God has given the world YOU! :-)

You are still an inspiration to all. Not a day goes by that you are not in my prayers. I am still lighting candles for you every day. I should own stock in the candle company! I am hoping that soon they will find something for your pain and everything else.
Miracles do happen and my prayers are that you be given one.
Love you, and Merry Christmas

Hi Lance,

I just want to tell you how brave you are to be walking your journey at this time, each day, each moment. Few people probably know just how difficult it is for you. I want you to know that you are not alone, that there are people like me that are standing with you in Spirit and who think good thoughts and send you love. I send you and your family the very presence of God's love encompassing you each moment of the day. You are loved. God Bless you today and each day-each moment-despite your challenges. May you know peace that passes understanding during this difficult time and always. Love, light and laughter-moments of tender and loving connection...and Justine, I'm holding your hand, too.

I know that your mom would take away every ounce of it if she could. I will be praying for you that God will ease your pain. Scott sure had a fun time that night over at Susan's with you. He really enjoyed playing with you and the girls. Thanks for letting him hang with you. So have you been watching those Vikings? scott and Jim make a pick list every week so I'm not sure how they are doing.
Justine, You are also in my prayers that you can still remain possitive. I hope the trip to Wash. brings some relief. Now that I have the site, I will check in. Take care, Love Kathy Schaub

Hi Lance and Justine: We at the Life Enrichment Centre in Edmonton, Alberta are thinking about you and praying for you every day. Tomorrow night, we will have our Christmas Candlelighting. We do this service every year in our City Hall in the centre of downtown Edmonton. It is a lovely building....like our very own Crystal Cathedral. And, it is magical at this time of the year. Outside there is an outdoor skating rink and it is surrounded by trees all covered in white lights. I wish you could see it. Tomorrow when I do the service, I will dedicate it to you. Be sure and catch the "light".

Dear Lance ....I am grieved to read that you are suffering so, due to your current medication. The nutrients were and will be good for you to rebound into a better emotional and physical state of being. I pray for you to be better. I hope the methadone works for the pain....Everything is pretty itchy, it seems, maybe this will not be. I hope you find relief very soon and that the courage and strength that has taken you and your Mom so far, will be enriched by a wonderful,unexpected blessing that will come to you and Mom both, from the place of both our finite and eternal being, and that somehow you can keep the faith to look forward to overcoming this difficult time. My heart and thoughts are with both of you! With lots of love and light, I think of you.
More love,

Thank you for keeping us updated, even though it is hard to hear that Lance is in pain. I'm hoping that methadone is the key to better comfort, and that he will gain in strength from the nutritional treatments. You are in my thoughts, please let me know what I can do to help. Love Sue

Those times we had together are special memories as well as you hanging out at our house eating macaroni and cheese plus HEALTHY food like "liquid minnows" (remember that?) I miss you both and send kisses. Come see us in Kansas when you can. Love, Elaine

Hi Lance,
You are one of bravest kids I know. We have never met but, I know this because my little girl has stage IV NB. Her name is Jillian and she is now 2 yrs old. She was DX in Aug. 2001. You are a very special boy and I'm happy you are feeling well. Somedays can be pretty hard but, each day is new. We will be thinking of you and your family. I will pray this new med. gleevec is just what you need. Take care.

Thanks for the update - I'm going to send you some information about Gleevec - please call me if I can help since I deal with many Gleevec patients through my work. I can put you in touch with some of them if you'd like. Gleevec is showing promise with several different tumors and can shrink them.

Hi Lance,
My name is Peg. I am a cousin of Dora Oakey. My daughter Nicole had Rhabdomayosarcoma. She put up a fierce fight for two and a half years. My prayers and strong positive thoughts are with you. I know this is a difficult time for you and your family. You sound like a very strong and special person. I am sorry that you have to go through this. My heart goes out to you and your parents. I have many bears that Nicole collected during her illness. She kept her bears arround her during her chemo treatments. She tried very hard to stay positive and do so called "normal things' when she felt up to it. I think she is looking down from heaven and watching over all of the children and young people such as your self that are in this courageous fight. Do you want one of her bears? I would love you to have one. She has one that is wearing a Harley Davison leather outfit. I would like to send it to you if it is okey with your Mom and Dad. Please email me and I will get it to you.
Keep up the good fight...and always remember you have an angel looking out for you!

Hey Lance! I did not realise that your surname was Kawalski. Over here in Oz that is the name of one our favourite sports stars, a swimmer called Daniel. (although my daughter thinks Ian Thorpe is cuter!!!) The name goes with a strong fighting spirit though, something I know you have in abundance!

Hi Lance,
We are go happy that the alternative medicine is making you feel better. I can't say I don't believe it, because I have seen many miracles done by doctors who seek other sources.
Keep up the good work Lance, enjoy your summer and keep that smile. You are a role model to us all.

Dear Justine and Lance,
It is truely a wonderful news. I was skeptical at the first time I heard of Dr Sinh but now I am convinced that he is doing something good for Lance. I wish that Lance's next check-up will show improvement. But even if there is no progression of the disease, it is already good news. It would be good if Dr. Sinh appears earlier. I wish other children from this group will be benefited too. How expensive is the treatment? Wish you the best Lance!! May God bless you.

We send our love and hope that we'll get to see you both some time.

Justine, It's been a long time since I've seen you, 6-7 years. I remmember once we were walking with Essia and Lance (toddlers in strollers). You said you didn't know how I did it,the "mom" thing with such smiles and patience. You said,"it just wasn't in you." My dear Justine, HOW WRONG YOU WERE! You do have the strength, courage, patience and humour, all that is needed for Lance. The last time the kids and I saw Lance was in MN(Christmas/NewYear's) right before he was to be diagnosed. We all went bowling with Grandpa Jack. Lance giggled, threw gutters and sat with Essia making fun of Ryan and Annie Mae's attempts at bowling. I'm very glad that Lance's body is responding well to the new treatments. Great that his days are pain-free and more at ease. I have thought of you often, you both are in my thoughts and prayers. This weekend we're bowling in your honor Lance,gutter balls and all!

You look wonderful in the new pictures. I'm so glad you had the opportunity to swim with the dolphins. What a time you must have had. I'm a friend of your grandma through e-mail. I've just come back to Edmonton from Toronto where I visited with my son and his family and met my new (5 month old) granddaughter. She is wonderful though a little cranky. I'm also a friend of Mary Morrissey of the Living Enrichment Center in Wilsonville. She is a wonderful person and can be quite helpful to you and your mom. I want you to know that I and our prayer ministry (Life Enrichment Centre - Edmonton) pray for you every day. I know that you are supported by God's love. Blessings Unlimited.

Hi Lance,

I know your mom through the computer. I really like your webpage, especially the photo of you kissing the dolphin. Looks like it was a super vacation. Here's wishing you a wonderful day!

Hey buddy :)
You know, you're much too handsome to have to kiss dolphins! Ohhhhhhhhh ... I get it! I've always wanted to see Hawaii and there you are - kissing dolphins no less. How many people have ever gotten to kiss a dolphin? Guess that does put you in a very special group!
Another interesting thing is that you have brought out the best in everyone around you. Going through difficult times either brings out the worst or the best, and you've shown the very best. That's an amazing gift to bring this world, and it'll reach people and places no one could have ever imagined. (It's even reached this 'unknown person' here in Memphis. And no jokes about this qualifying as the ends of the earth :P )
I wish you the best and many good and unexpected surprises in the days to come.

Hi there, Lance. Oooo, I was envious of your trip to Hawaii; it is so beautiful there and the water is so warm. Our grandson, Cody 15 yrs old, lives in Maui and gets to "enjoy" the Hawaii environment daily...and we love to go visit him. I loved the picture of you with the dolphin; bet that was fun. Sorry you're not feeling too well right now. I'm in touch with your special mom often and wish we lived close enough to visit each other. Hope the new treatments help you and you'll have less pain. We'll be thinking of you and praying for you. Much love & care. Bill & Ina

Hey lance, maybe one of these days maybe I can get you and Nick on the phone together. It seems you both hate the phone, so that idea isn't likely, but I bet you would be fast friends. So glad you got to hear the whales. Their songs are full of magic.

Hi lance
Happy belated Birthday. The trip to Hawaii sounds like it was so much fun. To swim with the dolphins and to see the whales must have been great. I think of you all often and keep you in my prayers. You have touched so many peoples lives in this battle with your courage, faith, determination and inspire us to keep to the best.

Hi Lance,

Hawaii looks like it was a lot of FUN! I do have to say I am a bit jealous of that big kiss with Flipper!!! I have always wanted to swim with dolphins. Chris and I are supposed to go to Hawaii in June for a family vacation, and maybe we will get to try that as well! You look great in the pictures.....and you definately look older than a 12 year old....I was thinking more like 14 or 15 :).

Hi Lance!

Those pictures were AWESOME!! Loved you and the dolphin, and the black and white photo is oh-so-Hollywood, do you have an agent yet? You look absolutle HANDSOME and WONDERFUL.

Glad to hear you had a good time in Hawaii.

I have moved my office one month, sold and moved out of my apartment this week, and am tired of moving! Soon I will be heading west and northwest, hopefully to see you, and your family too. How are those little ferrets?

It's nice to see all your FAN mail, but that's really not a surprise.

Keep positive thoughts! I love you oceans full and think of you often.

Hi Lance. Well, it's warmer in Ohio than it was the other day when I wrote you a note. It's 27 today. Supposed to get near 55 by the end of the week. Took my daughter (11 years old) to the eye doctor today & she has to get glasses. It's ok though, she is excited! My 16 year old daughter has mono & has missed school for 5 weeks now. She starts home instruction tomorrow FINALLY! She misses her friends at school. Just wanted to send you a quick note. Hope this finds you doing ok. Take care! Denise

Hope to see you soon, maybe in April.

Until then, you are in my prayers. I love you! xoxox

Hi Lance,
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. That reindeer I gave you is already a collector's item, we cannot get enough of them, everybody wants one. Your cousins Tommy and Robby loved thiers too! One family loved it so much they just kept passing it around to other family members.

How is your puppy

Was Santa good to you?

New York is decorated to the nines. Some friends came up from Florida and got the cook's tour, so I was in the East and West Village, Ground Zero, the Seaport, midtown, all over the place for 3 days. I am taking pictures with my new digital camera and will send some to you, once I figure out the download process.

Hope you had a good day. Just wanted you to know you are in my thoughts.

Love,

This is the "Stork" who you saw today when you picked up your special Golden Angel at Alicia's Forever Golden home. I just wanted to tell all of you that I was VERY honored that Alicia called me to help with your beautiful Christmas present. The joy in all of your eyes when you first layed eyes on your youngest sister/daughter and the love that you all have for each other shines. I wish you the most awesome Christmas. I thank you and Alicia for allowing me to be a part of your Christmas surprise.
MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND MAY GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU!

Have a wonderful time with the new "little one".
With love, good thoughts and lots of prayers,

Hi Lance, That's a really cool picture with you and the Backsteet Boys. You look very cool! Handsome, too. I am glad you are hanging in there, but I think it must be hard at times. That makes me very sad. There are so many people who love you and pray that you will get better bit by bit. I hope you guys have a wonderful Christmas. I will be thinking of you.

Hi there, folks. Hope your Thanksgiving celebration was as much fun as ours was. The weather was wonderful, the food delicious and the entertainment by Trevor, our 11 yr old grandson, was as good as it gets. He found interesting ways of using the napkin rings, such as monacles, glasses that made him look like Harry Potter, on his ears to look like a space alien, and in his lip to look like a native of Africa. He had a great time running his remote control car uphill and downhill here in the desert. You and he would have had a great time together, Lance. Hope you're all enjoying this long w/e together. Love, Bill & Ina

Hi there Lance. Just wanted you to know I am thinking of you today, and your ferrets, thinking of the fun I had during my visit to see you and your Mom and Eric and Lauren
last summer. I know your Mom is preparing a feast and hope you eat a LOT!

It was a nice crisp, cool sunny day in NYC. I went to the park and fed swans and ducks. The tree leaves are now orange, yellow, coral, it is one blaze of color and so beautiful. Then I came home and had Thanksgiving at one of my neighbors which was delicious!

Hope you are feeling good today. I think of you often!

Much love,

Lance! Let's get the ferrets and take them to Brasil! My friend Sal has a beach house and a ranch, plenty of room for all!! His mother is so nice and a GREAT cook. Justine, Eric and Lauren can come too. Sal has the greatest parrot, it sings, dances and says his name. If the telephone rings, the parrot says: HELLOOOOOO! It is too funny. I call him Parrito since he is a Latin American parrot.Sal just got a little puppy too, it is adorable.

It was a beautiful fall day in New York, I went to Central Park in The Rambles, there are 35 species of birds in there.
I also fed the ducks sunflower seeds, which they immediately gobbled up. There were lots of people row boating, the lake was smooth as glass.

Have a good week.

Dear Lance,

You are my hero and my life is so much richer because you are in it.

I will never forget the day that I came into your room and you were sitting there making a list of things that you and Lauren could do... Instead of focusing on what you couldn't do, you had over fifty fun things on list that you guys could do! What an increditable example of how to live for all of us.

Lauren's life has been enriched so much by you too. She has learned so much about friendship and grown so much. One constant in our house is laughter. Your mom & I are lifted by it. Thank you for being such a wonderful big brother and such a funny guy!

I don't think that their are many men who can say that they truly look up to their step-son. You are my hero and my friend.

Always,

Eric

It was really wonderful to finally meet you guys on Saturday! Somehow, meeting in person makes an email buddy "more real." Let me know how you're all doing.
Lance, keep hanging in there! I know it's tough, I've been there too, but you've got a great family standing behind you. Good luck in school! Your mom and I talked earlier, there are a lot of ways to go to school when you don't feel up to it, I'm sure your teachers will figure something out.
I'm praying for all of you and can't wait to see you again!
Love,

Dear Justine,

I am so sorry for all Lance is going through right now. My heart breaks for you all, and I so wish there was something I could do. I am praying, and I pray you receive some comfort from God and that Lance does as well.

As far as school is concerned....I would think Lance's teachers would allow him to work at his own pace. I am a teacher, and I just want you to know that the school district has to set up a plan for Lance so that he can succeed. That is their job. I wouldn't think he would have to go to a charter school, unless you feel that would be best. I just wanted to tell you that.

I am sending love and hugs and continued prayers....angie

Hi Lance,
My name is Patrick Flynn. I'm the stepdad of Justin Gray. Justin also has neuroblastoma. He was first diagnosed when he was three. He relapsed in March of this year and is now going through chemo. I'm sorry you had to go through the rough couple of weeks, but am glad you are doing better. I heard about you from your mom on the N-BLAST list and skipped over to check out your web page. While I was hear I thought that I would drop a line in your guest book. I read about your locker incident and started to laugh. I had the same thing happen to me when I started 7th grade. I'm 39 now and I still dream about going back to that school and not being able to open that locker. Justin is 6 and started the first grade this year. He's picked up this skater lingo from somewhere and when he came home he said "Dude, I knew that like you had to go to school all day, but i didn't know that they were going to make you work all day. Like, what's up with that." Well I won't take up any more of your disk space so I'll end with we're all thinking about you and are sending you some "like some positive vibes or something," as Justin would put it, in hopes that it helps you through this rough time and on to better times.

Hiya Lance. After the past two weeks, the words I WISH I WAS THERE have new meaning. I am so happy to hear you are feeling better now, being in pain is a terrible thing. How are the ferrets doing? and your kitties? I miss you, them and your Mom and Eric and Lauren too. I really do wish I was there and am working on moving back west to be closer to my family. It has been an interesting 2 weeks in NYC, everyone is tense, on guard. But we are resiliant, like you are Lance, and we shall all continue to go on with a smile and positive thoughts. You are ALWAYS in my prayers and I have been doing double time at church lately! :)))

I LOVE YOU!

Hi Lance ~ You might remember me. I'm Carly's mom. Carly is your cousin Maddie's friend, and we live 5 houses down the street from them. I just wanted you to know you have a huge spot in my heart. You're the kind of boy moms just naturally fall in love with, and immediately you touched my heart. (I know boys don't like to hear mushy stuff like that. Sorry!) :-) I was sorry that I didn't get to see you again before you left Minnesota. Keep your spirits up, dear child of God. I know the Lord Jesus smiles upon you, that He loves you, that He's called you, Lance, for just such a time as this! You're His child. That, my friend, is the greatest reason to REJOICE!!! It pleases Him to give you JOY UNSPEAKABLE!!! Above all, Lance, know that Jesus is using you for a reason, that you are doing work for the Kingdom that you don't even know you're doing! I saw it right away, that the Lord's Mighty Hand is leading you and guiding you and securing you. He has great things in mind for you, Lance. Never doubt for a moment that He wants only goodness and joy to follow you every day. I pray all's well for you in Oregon. You're a precious boy. God bless you - with all my heart. Love, Laura Bonne

Dear Lance and Justine,
Sorry to hear about the first day of school. Both Sarah and Kate (my daughters) had a hard time when they first started at Athey. It was kind of scary for them, and Sarah had the hardest time figuring out her locker so she would just carry everything around. At that time (five years ago) they also had to share....someone decided to match her up with a boy she didn't like called Jeffrey Sumpter. Since they had the same last name, the office thought they were twins!
Anyway, things do get easier as time goes on, and you will make more friends in your classes, although things may feel grim right now. Remember when you were at Stafford and you didn't necessarily get your friends in each class?
Our thoughts will be with you as you go through radiation. Andrew didn't mind the treatments themselves, but he did feel tired afterwards. Are you going to Emanuel Rad/Onc? Did you know they have a prize drawer with snacks and candy? You might want to check it out next time!
Our thoughts are with you.
Hang in there Lance, and you too Justine. "It is better to light one candle than to curse the darkness" and we are lighting a candle for you.
Warm wishes, The Sumpter Family

Dear Justine and Lance,
Your web page is great! I'm sorry your first day at school wasn't as good as it should have been. My son Josh just started a new school this year for first grade and he didn't know anyone. The first two days of school at recess he just sat and watched the kids play handball because he didn't have any friends. But today he came home and said he met someone and they let him play. So hang in there and hopefully things will get better for you as well. We wish you all the best and will be sending you our possitive thoughts and love.

What a bummer not getting to have anything but fries for lunch, on your first day of school . Hope you have your locker problems taken care of and that will not happen again. I have an 11 yr. old grandson and he is also going to a new school this year. So far he is doing good. Continued thoughts and prayers coming your way.

Hi Justine. what shitty news. I think of you and Lance Romance often. when does the radiation start? I'd love to see you two. I have a new puppy (well, she's now 6 months and 56 lbs.)I would love for Lance to meet her. Are you going to be at Emanuel or the Hill? Please ask Lance if he would like to sit in a coffee shop with me with our you-know-what machines. That would be a hoot. I always tell my friends about how you guys would sit in the lobby and . . .
I love you both and miss seeing you.

Dear Justine & Lance, Thank you for the update, even though it isnt the best of news. (It isnt the worst of news either). I will light my candle tonight and send all my energy to you Lance, so that you may go to, not only your first day of school, but many, many days of school. You have come so far, and are such a strong boy/man. ") I send prayers to you and your family every day. I hate lessons, life lessons, and this one is a duzy eh?? You keep on keeping on, no negative thoughts, not negative energy. Ask God for what you want, and he will give it to you, as long as the goal behind the "want" is peace. I love you all.

Dearest Justine and Lance,
Thanks for updating me through your web page. It comes as a great shock to hear of this new tumor.You're right, neuroblastoma is something to hate.It must be so overwhelming for you right now, faced with this new onslaught, but you're not alone, there are many people out there fighting this with you. My heart goes out to you and I'd really like to help. Are you going to Emanuel or OHSU for treatment? What can I do? My office is very close to OHSU.

We just wanted to say Hi. My stepson, Justin, relapsed with neuroblastoma in March. He told me that the treatment for his relapse is not as bad as his original treatment. We also wanted you to know that we are thinking and praying that you will get rid of the tumor as soon as possible. We know that with what you have gone through you are a very strong and brave young man. Also, from your pictures it looks like you are into music. I'm always looking for some new music to listen to. Any suggestions on music to listen to?

Hi Lance!
I loved your Web Site ! I know you love animals, so heres a few animal jokes. Keep on smiling!
Tim Lahr.

A man and his pet giraffe walk into a bar and start having a few quiet drinks. As the night goes on, they get pretty drunk. The giraffe finally passes out near the pool tables, and the man decides to go home. As the man is leaving, he's approached by the barman who says, “Hey, you're not gonna leave that lyin' here, are ya?” “Hmph,” says the man, “that's not a lion, it's a giraffe.”


An old couple is on a walk, when a pigeon flies by and deposits a little present on the woman's head. "Yech!" says the woman. "Get some toilet paper."
"What for? He must be half-a-mile away by now."

What did the father buffalo say to the son buffalo when he left for school? Bison!

What's the difference between a bird and a fly?
A bird can fly but a fly can't bird.

What's the odd one out? 1) A lobster 2) a whale 3) a Chinese guy that's been hit by a bus ?
The whale -- the other two are both crustaceans.

What would you call an Arab who owns a harem of cows? A milk sheik!


A young magician started to work on a cruise ship with his pet parrot. The parrot would always steal his act by saying things like, “he has a card up his sleeve” or “he has a dove in his pocket.” One day the ship sank and the magician and the parrot found themselves alone on a lifeboat. For a couple of days, they just sat there looking at each other. Finally, the parrot broke the silence and said, “Okay, I give up. What did you do with the ship?”


I was walking home when I noticed a couple of robins laying down in the sun. I let my talking cats out and the kitten said to her mom, ''I'm hungry!'' So the mother cat said, ''What would you like?'' The kitten replied, ''I don't know!''
Then the mother cat looked at the robins and said, ''How about some basking robins?''

What do you get when you cross a bear with a deer?

Beer


What do you call a poodle with no legs?
A spoonge.

Q: What do porcupines say after they kiss?

A: Ouch.

What do you get when you cross an elephant and kangaroo together?

Giant holes all over Africa!

Dear Justine,

I love the website! Lance is very handsome. I would be willing to bet that some of my middle school girls (students) would agree! Please tell Lance to stay tough and keep up the fight. I can tell he is a fighter---just by looking into his eyes! I am sending love, hugs, and prayers to you all.....angie
