      They are horrible! Seen too many coworkers in the medical field get this kind of treatment too. Basically they let them fight & approve the first time but after more cancer is found they say sorry we don't have $ to pay that anymore. It's disgusting. Wish from the very beginning of our lives that Dr's would put more a emphasis on nutrition. How bad sugar (even in fruit) is.

My heart is heavy with sadness, but I have so much admiration for you as a person and as a mom, who has been the strength your family has needed to walk this journey with Ray! I know that we your subscribers would just want to give you a big hug and even tho that will not take away Rays cancer, the human touch can be powerful in healing! We will continue to pray for all of you for strength, comfort and peace. You are an inspiration to us all, showing us that when you don't think you can deal with the most difficult of situations, you just dig deeper and do it for your children because that is what a great mom does! You are my hero and you are giving strength to so many people you don't even know! Thank you for trusting us enough to let us pray for you and your family! GOD bless this amazing family!

I cannot express how sorry I am that you and your family, especially Ray, are going through this. We have all watched your videos, cried with you, prayed with you. The prayers will continue and our love for you all, will always be steadfast. There are no words to help you, but know we are with you always. As far as saying goodbye, I think see you later Ray, I love you, is a perfect way to let him go. He will always be with you, and you will be together again.

    Dearest Kelly. As I watched your update about Ray I cried with you.
    Anticipatory grief is so real and I understand it having been there. I’m going to say something others might think is cold but I know this to be true. “Waiting for someone to pass” is the worst.
    When Ray does pass away you’re going to feel a strange sense of relief. Don’t be ashamed of this feeling and don’t fight it. Feeling it doesn’t mean you’re not sad and devastated. It’s completely normal. This feeling will allow you to take care of the things that you will need to do.
    I hope you understand what I’m trying to say here.
    My heart breaks for you and your family.
    If you ever need someone to talk to I am here for you and I wish I lived near you. I would be there for you no matter what. I feel a connection to you and think if we knew each other we’d be friends.
    You can find me on Facebook if ever want to chat. You are not alone and I only want you to know that even though you feel you can’t bear this, you can. I know you can.
    Keep us posted. Michele Curtis. Your friend in Canada.

When he passed I was holding his right hand in my right hand. I got the “Love Dad ❤” tattooed on my right forearm just above my wrist. I kiss that tattoo every day and tell him I love him. It’s my personal way of keeping him and his love with me every single day. Much love and peacefulness to you, Ray and the girls. 🙏❤️

    I’m so sorry the insurance didn’t come through for Ray. In my opinion as a human being and retired nurse, health insurance has ruined health care and lives. Even though my heart is breaking for all of you, your level of pain is something only a parent/siblings who has a child going through a similar experience would truly be able to understand. Maybe a support group in addition to therapy would also be helpful. I will be praying for all of you. 🙏🙏🙏🙏💕💕💕💕

If you haven't yet, please reach out to a hospice so you have support, someone to call with questions, someone else to talk to. The social workers, chaplains, and nurses are amazing and can provide so much relief and comfort. They usually also offer continued support for months. You are doing an amazing job, Momma. Give yourself credit and a pat on the back. You're doing amazing, not only with Ray, but your girls also. My continued thoughts, prayers and love are with you all. Please reach out if you have questions. Sending you love, hugs, and prayers! No one should have to say goodbye to their son, especially to this horrible, horrible disease. Love to you all! ❤❤❤❤

I don’t think anyone can truly understand the loss of a child until it happens to them. I NEVER thought it would happen to us and I would never in a million years wish this on anyone. I would much prefer that people didn’t know what it’s like.
      I have been praying for Ray since he was diagnosed, I am in shock and so saddened that the insurance company DENIED his chemo ! 😢😡 unbelievable, unacceptable, they shouldn’t be allowed to deny treatment, it should be automatic!

The strength you show on your videos is astonishing and is a testament to not only your character, but the endless, boundless love you hold for your family. May you be picked up by the prayers, comforted by the love, and warmed by the compassion and support being sent your way by your extended "UA-cam" family. 🧡.

    Kelly I have been watching you for a couple of years now and when you shared your story about your son it just broke my heart. I know how you feel first handly. In 2015 my son was diagnosed with stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer and that 7th day of August my whole world changed. I couldn't sleep or eat. I lost my son on September 22nd 2015. I am so sorry to see you in heart ache. I am so touched to see you saver every moment with your son. I want you to know I am praying for peace and comfort for your entire family. May the blood of Jesus cover you all, Sincerely Sherry

    I don’t know if you’ll see this, among the hundreds or thousands of comments that you get, but my heart goes out to you. A little over two years ago, I was the caregiver for my mother, when she had cancer. I don’t even think that I said an actual goodbye to her that she would have known about. Looking back, I think I must’ve just made sure she was comfortable, said sweet dreams, and softly shut the door so she could sleep. I did that every time I went to check on her. Like you, I made sure she was as comfortable as could be, and enjoyed all of the waking moments that I had with her. Soak up all you can with Ray. When you look back, those will be some of your most cherished memories. I have never lost a child, so I don’t know what you’re going through. But I have been caregiver, and lost someone to the battle of cancer. So I send a hug to you and many many prayers. You are an amazing mother. You don’t have to say goodbye. Sweet dreams is enough. ❤

    I’ll play your vlogs 3 times a day! I am praying that you get to a place of acceptance that honors Ray and your whole family. Start videotaping family stories together❤️ Tell him everything that is on your heart❤️ Tell him that you will carry him in your heart until you die. Promise him that you will go on and live a happy life. You can do this. You will be teaching your other children that despite great loss, that you will live on one well to honor Ray, yourself and the other children. Be patient with your self. Give yourself permission to crash some days, ask for help. People that care about you just need you to ask them. Focus on the great times you had not the time you don’t have. Rest, rest, rest. Grief is a lot of work. Talk about Ray with your family, even if it hurts. It will get better. Forgive my blunt suggestions. I had my own loss. Prayers for you all coming.

At one time, the Oncologist told me she had about 3 mos max to live, and that girl is still here! Anyway...I KNOW first hand how truly difficult this journey is and I am praying for all of you. It's not over till it's over and I pray that the Lord gives you the strength for the days ahead. You are stronger than you think. All of you are. God bless all of you! I have never posted before, but I have been watching and praying for you a long time. This time, I just could not keep quiet anymore. Your family is loved.

It's ok to have your days were you cry and don't get get out of pajamas as long the next you get yourself up and dressed. It's been 35 years since I lost my first born after 2 days of life. I still have days where it hits hard, and I can't stop thinking him and what he would be like today would have his own family now, ect, and will have a good cry.

I was diagnosed with late stage testicular cancer when I was 24, and even though I survived, it was such a close call that my oncologist said he was surprised I managed to pull through because of how horrible the side effects were from the chemo. I know how hard this is not only for a family, but for the person actually suffering from the direct effects of treatment and the cancer. You're a brave mom, and your son is also very brave and courageous for having fought as hard as he has. God bless❤️

    Oh Kelly, I am so sorry about Ray. All I can say is I lost my 24 year old son to cancer. It was a very aggressive cancer and he only lived 7 months. My prayers go up for you and your daughters as well as peace for Ray. Saying goodbye is so hard, but when the time comes you may have to reassure Ray that it is okay to go and reassure him you and the girls will be ok. My husband, daughter and I had to tell Isaac that it was okay. My tears flow for you because I understand losing your oldest son to cancer. It is terrible!

    Oh Kelly, my mama’s heart is breaking for you. I’m so proud of you for doing therapy with your girls. You don’t feel strong, but you are doing what needs most to be done. I will pray for you all, for strength and peace and comfort. Everything you asked for prayers about, I will ask God to give. 💙

    There are no words to express how deeply saddened I am to hear this update. I’ve been praying everyday day that good news would be just around the corner! I lost my brother when he was 17. It has been almost 30 years ago and sometimes it feels like yesterday! I didn’t say goodbye to him. I said until we meet again…I feel his presence all the time and know that he has been watching over me and my family through the years! I will continue to pray for you, Ray, your girls and his family and friends! 🙏🏻
