No Words - an update on Ben

I don't even have words right now.

After 8 months of chemo, radiation, infections, intensive procedures, surgeries and heartbreaking pain the cancer is still there in Ben.

Today they find out what their options are. It is likely 6 months of a relatively new, but unproven treatment that will send them into even darker places.

Please, please keep the Towne family in your thoughts.

I've followed Ben (and his family) since you posted in August. I read the update this morning on his site and felt like someone had punched me in the gut. I can only imagine how Carin, Jeff, and Ben's extended family feel.

I, too, am left speechless. We're praying for a miracle, and will continue to do so.

I also have been following Ben's story through all of this. They are such a strong family, and I know that their strength and their love will carry them through

I'm right there with you.
No. Words.

It was honestly all I could think about last night when we were in the hospital, how she copes I just don't know. I guess you have to do it and just keep going. It breaks my heart to think about.

Thank you so much for keeping us in your thoughts during Nick's surgery, we are very glad to be home.

I'm so very, very sorry to read this news. I have to admit that I don't pray often but I have just done so for Ben and will continue to do so.
