He was having every symptom.. not telling us about some of them . We thought he was stressed , graduation and a baby due ... He is home, waiting for second target treatment pill to be approved. He very nauseous and diarrhea at this time. He has to do summer school for one class, to graduate! I appreciate everyone here and the extra education

Oh gosh, you have a very stoic son. And I can certainly understand with all the stress on his shoulders that it was difficult to differentiate that from a potential illness developing.
I hope he gets his medication approved again so he can keep on with treatment. Patients shouldn’t have to beg for their meds…that is so frustrating. I had one of those targeted meds too. It was like jumping through hoops every month to get it approved one more time and when you’re not feeling well, that’s the last thing you want to do…acrobatics for health care!
I wish him all the best as he goes forward. One more class and he can get that diploma…but good luck studying with a new baby, huh? As his mom I can imagine you’d love to harken back to the days where you could cuddle him on your lap and let him know everything will be ok. He’s too big for your lap now, but he knows you’re looking out for him and will do what you can to help him and his new little family past this bump in the road.
Will you keep me updated with his journey?
