Tyler's Friend Chase

On Friday August 22nd we found out that Tyler's best friend Chase has cancer. Chase is like an extended member of our family. The boys have played baseball together the last 4 years. Kyle and his sister Lu-Lu were on the same team too just so we could help each other out with getting the kids to and from practice and games in case they were at the same time. 4 years ago we happened to move next door to Chase's grandparents. Chase is over there every Monday during the school year and at least 3 times a week during the summer. He would often be at our house because the boys were unseparable. They had been running a lot of tests on Chase's leg becuase he found a weird bump on it one day. Chase told Tyler on Friday that it was in fact cancer. I talked to his mom and dad and they said the cancer is growing and no matter what he will have to go through Chemo. He grew his hair out and just donated 13 inches of his hair to kids with cancer. He was supposed to start middle school yesterday and today he started a whole new round of tests to find out if the cancer is anywhere else in his body. Other than the cancer being in his body he is a healthy boy, so it should help him to fight off the cancer.
