    So glad for the update. I am a survivor of 4th stage throat cancer, 18 years ago. I prayed for you and Ray just about the whole time you were on. God does work miracles! Please continue to stay positive. You don’t know how much that means to Ray. I pray God gives you and Ray strength, knowledge and understanding. Please know that a lot of people are praying for Ray. I love you and y’all are on my mind.

As a counselor, I give you credit for "cycling through" your emotions; it's important. I'm praying for Ray and ALL of your family and subscribers/viewers.

    The absolute frustration and confusion dealing with insurance companies is REAL! My daughter faced Colon Cancer at 18. Old enough to make medical decisions for herself and limit any involvement from us as parents but too young for doctors and insurance representatives to respect her choices. There is more to deal with than the physical. Praying for your family as well as Ray. ❤

I will keep you all in my prayers and share with you the advice I was given all those years ago: fight, fight every day. Be your own defender and look to the future while caring for the present. Sending prayers and lots of LOVE!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

But glad they have and Ray has started treatment. We will continue to pray 🙏🏼 that Ray can get through treatment with as little of side effects as possible. ❤ I know as a mother you just want to hold your child until all the bad goes away…it is hard to watch them feel so bad. Kelly take care of yourself as you go though this with Ray. ❤️🙏🏼FromTX

    I was devastated when I learned in 2020 that my sister had breast cancer. Cancer was not common in my family so this took everyone by surprise. She had 4 months of chemo and had her rough days with the side effects. But, she stayed upbeat and maintained a positive attitude. I'm the oldest so I had to pull with everything I had the strength to be there for her. It wasn't about me, but her. Kelly, this will be behind Ray before you realize it, although right now it doesn't seem so. My sister's positive outlook gave not only her strength she needed, but also passed that strength to everyone in our family. She is now going on three years since it all began and she is living life large. She lost her husband of nearly 50 years last Thanksgiving. That strength she found to help her fight her cancer again came thru and gave her the will to continue living life as full as she can even after such a devastating loss. You're faith will get you thru. Your sharing will help so many others. I know it would have meant the world to me if I followed your journey while I was going thru my sister's. Thank you and God bless you and all your family. Especially Ray. I'm keeping the prayers forward for you.

I have 6 children and I am going thru this alone with the exception of one of my daughter in laws.

It just burns me up that grown kids will bring their parent to an actual drs appointment and not even bother to come in with them!!! I understand about treatment because we can’t allow anyone but patients into the treatment room unless there are special circumstances such as dementia or being disabled and their caregiver is the only one that can understand them. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

      Oh Kelly…..continued prayers and love for Ray, you and all the family. I know how you are feeling since I had a 13 year old daughter diagnosed with bone cancer in 1984. At that time the diagnosis was very grim. She underwent 10 months of horrible chemo and 30 radiation treatments. Also, a few surgical procedures. The good news was she got through it when at that time only about 15% of the children survived. So never give us hope. You are in my heart. Stay strong and have faith.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🤗🤗🤗💐

    Kelly, your reaction to the room is so normal and real as you wouldn't be there if Ray wasn't sick. Learning that this is a healing room is also real as Ray is in the healing cycle. Always embrace that as you are doing. This room will become a sanctuary of sorts for fear, anger, love and hope, a place to pray, to reflect. Concerning Ray's sensitivity to cold, would a padded or wooden toilet seat help? I was going to suggest a sewn mitten for the handle and for the faucets that can be laundered and replaced. Your attitude is so amazing. I am praying for all of you. You are never far from my thoughts.

    My cancer experience was life changing. I felt alone in a dark forest with small rays of light poking thru the canopy. As my journey and treatments progressed I saw more light and just focused on that. Eventually I was at the woods edge and if I looked back the darkness was there, but I kept moving and fighting for the light. I pray his treatment brings him through this. One day at a time he can get there. Stay strong.

    Kelly, I was very sick a long time ago and the Lord showed me to say everyday, "Today is a better day than yesterday and the sun is going to shine tomorrow." It gave me a different perspective from then on, something to look forward to and it took a while, but I did get better! Blessings!

    Kelly, I admire your strength as a Mom! We are keeping Ray in our prayers as well as you and the girls. The good part of that "room" is that it leads to his future! Thank you for sharing his updates. God Bless you. Dear Loving Father I lift up this family to you for strength and healing. Dear God I pray you will keep positive people in their paths. I pray that the side effects lessen quickly. Our journey through life is never boring. But knowing we have you God to lean on and to turn our fears too is such a blessing. Let Ray feel our prayers and let Kelly know she is not alone either. You are our loving father and we trust you to carry Ray until he can get up and run again! AMEN

    I'm sure that Ray is going to get better because not only is he strong, he has a strong and supportive mother and sisters. I can completely relate to his pain with the sensitivity to cold. I have spinal stenosis which causes the nerves in my legs to be extremely sensitive, sometimes to the point that I can't even sleep at night, and cold especially causes excruciating pain. Has Ray tried using an electric blanket to where he can control the temperature? That may help him a bit. Ray and all of you are in my prayers.

    Kelly: Thank you so much for keeping us updated. One can never receive too many prayers. I don't know that I could provide these video updates. THANK YOU!! Ray is young and strong. We are all praying for you, your daughters and especially Ray. I so agree with Debby's comments below. Folks pay insurance premiums and when we really need them, they want to put their head in the sand. God never gives us more than we can handle. We grow and get stronger. We are all pulling for you. 🙏🙏🙏

    You’re being smart in your approach in handling this very difficult situation. You’re on a journey that no parent ever wants another parent to have to experience, and keeping your focus on your girls is so important too. The emotional roller coaster is sometimes hard to imagine, but don’t borrow the jack. I hope you can feel the love and prayers from your family and friends, and may you all have Christ’s peace around you. Blessings 🙏🙏🙏

    I am a breast cancer survivor grateful to say now at 10 years as of yesterday! My side effects were always 2 1/2 days later. It was just awful. I felt like I entered into a dark tunnel. Was like that for 4 days and it compounded even longer after each treatment. This is like a marathon not a race. It was so tough on my husband and two Sons as well. I will continue to pray for Ray and your family. ❤
