Together for Tyler-Ewing's Sarcoma Survivor

Tyler is a 19-year-old young man, diagnosed with metastatic Ewings Sarcoma; bone cancer, Sick Kids H The day Ty was born, they found a hole in his heart.

Tyler is absolutely amazing & has been a fighter since the day he was born. When he was 2 years old, we were told that he was Autism; in 2003 Autism wasn't a disability people were familiar with, all the doctors told us is that he would not progress in life like other "normal" children. We had no idea what the future had to hold for us as a family or for him. Kaelyn was born 2 weeks before Ty was diagnosed in October of 2003 and Ryan would come to join the family in August of 2009. In August of 2013, Tyler started to say that his legs were sore; I had taken him to the doctor who said he had "growing pains" and to take Advil. October 2013 comes along, Tyler is still doing gym at school and going about normal day to day's and still saying that he has pain in his legs, to the point where it was keeping him up at night. I went to his doctor to get an x-ray request for his legs, and on the day I went to pick it up, his school called me and he was screaming in pain. I took him to the Guelph General Hospital, they did an x-ray and determined that the left side of his pelvis was missing and we needed to be referred to Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto. After MRI's, CT scans, and a bone scan; Sick Kids has determined that Tyler has a rare form of bone cancer called Ewing's Sarcoma. Ewing's Sarcoma are tumors within the bone, it occurs in adolescents mainly, but can be diagnosed in older as well. Ewings Sarcoma is usually found in the long bones of the body; pelvis, femur, tibia. If the cancer is localized it is easier to treat, Tyler's was metastasized. Tyler's cancer was found from his brain to his toes and his prognosis wasn't good. Tyler was given 2 months to live. After 14 rounds of chemo, 36 rounds of radiation, and Cannabis Oil around the clock, Tyler is now NED (no evidence of disease) since 2015. Miracles do happen & doctors aren't always right. Follow your gut.

Hi everyone.. sorry I haven’t been posting but no post is a good thing right, means life is running smooth & normal.

Yesterday was Tyler’s last day of Grade 12 and Kaelyn’s last day of Grade 10, it is unbelievable how the years have just passed and I didn’t notice.

As you can see Ty is doing awesome.. going for his drivers license soon, starts a part time job next month, he’s going back to high school in September to do a coop to get more work/life experience.

Health wise, things are great!
He has a meeting with his oncologist next week and I believe that she is releasing him from her care; no more hospitals, no more scans, nothing. Scary as s**t for me but fantastic for him.
It will still be a daily thought & scare you think about; what happens if he relapses and I don’t see the signs again...

A new chapter called life is starting for Tyler again, a new chapter that we never thought we would see.. it’s such a beautiful thing. ❤️

At 6:10am 18 years ago today, I was blessed to become this young mans mom.

In your 18 years of life you have had to overcome more obstacles than most do in a lifetime, and you have always fought & came out on top... you’re my hero, my best friend, my heart and my everything.

Happy Birthday Tyler! Xoxo
