He's so admirable. You're lucky to have such a brave child. I hope he's feeling a lot better now.

If this is your son, I am very sorry. What type of cancer does he have?

Wow.
Lucas is a brave kid. I can't keep my cool around needles a quarter of the size of that.

Be proud of such a tough kid and best luck with everything.
