Thanks Midnight. I too love the blog name and she has started to sell tote bags and t shirts with the ninja image and the phrase of Kicking cancer like a Ninja. She spoke to her little boy and explained how sick daddy was and that he was kicking cancer. Their little boy came up with Like a Ninja. She decided to go with a cute image to make it less scary for him. The graphics company have told her that she has free right to use the Ninja graphic to raise money to help pay their medical bills and raise awareness. They live in America so it will be costly for their share of the bill.

that sounds wonderful (if you see what i mean)
that should SO take off, big time
many people will be in their shoes, and its a terrific message, that will appeal to all ages
i hope they raise a terrific amount as well as awareness

a family should not have to have the worry of money as well as everything else at a time like this:(

Thanks for posting that Sethsgran. Your daughter and son in Law sound amazingly strong and positive. It's great to read and to give people hope. X

Sethsgran,

I'll be following your daughter's blog until and after James has truly kicked cancer's butt! I'll add it to my facebook and a few blogs that I know have thousands of followers ( all related to cancer) I have had a 'common' cancer and an extremely rare cancer so have an understanding of the fears and worries that James will have. The difference being I had the NHS who despite a lot of people knocking it and it not always being right (ie postcode lottery etc).

A strong little family you have there... x

Thanks Gina that is really kind of you. We are so very grateful for everyone's kindness. We have now had a friend who has put it on Twitter, not familiar to me! Lol. We are planning car boot sales etc and we have a friend who is looking at some old copies of Dandy and Beano we have decided to sell and some old books. What purpose do these things serve if boxed up and never looked at. Hopefully all this will raise a few more pounds.

sethsgran

Totally agree I personally think the NHS do an amazing job.

Unfortunately short of a miracle my SIL doesn't have more than 5 months to go. I do believe that miracles can happen but he is so I'll now. The doctor said that IF the chemo works he might have more time. Sadly he is very much in denial and won't start the chemo, oral.
