Although my sons are done with Boy Scouts, my husband is still involved in scouting and with the Explorers program, wherein young men and women may investigate career options. One of his kids, an 18 year old boy who is in his first semester of engineering school, has been diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma, which is pretty serious. In his case, the cancer has spread to the lymph within his visceral pleura.

He has been told get leave school and deliver himself as quickly as possible to Sloane-Kettering.

If you are so inclined, please pray for Adam and his family, and for all families dealing with kids and cancer.

    Praying for them, A. Will ask St. Peregrine’s intercession as well. Thanks for the heads up.

    Praying for him and his family (and your husband); asking Pier Giorgio Frassati’s intervention.

    A Scout is Reverent. Prayers will be lifted for Adam L. and his family and medical team and for your husband. If one of my Scouts got this news, I would cry myself to sleep praying for them.

    I have asked Bl. Marie Rose Durocher who was instrumental in curing my hodgkins 28 years ago to intercede with Our Lord for a cure for this boy and his cancer.

    I worked for the Scouts on Long Island for many years. Wonder if I ever met your husband.

    Adam and his family will be in my prayers, and I will ask St. George, Patron Saint of Scouts, for his help as well.

    God bless Adam and all those whose lives are in peril this day.

    Adam L. will be in my prayers. May God grant him strength and comfort.
