I know that I have posted briefly about Mitchell Rossen( Brenda Spitters-Rossen ) however i would like to continue to ask everyone to keep him and his family in your prayers..Mitchell is 15 years old,and fighting stage 4 Melanoma...This was a post from his mom today. Grateful for the many visitors and prayers that have helped strengthen Mitch! Hes gone from being bedridden with pain, difficulty eating, taking meds and being mobile - to sitting up and feeding himself, walking the halls, having the desire to read the many cards and posters and enjoy regaining senses in his face. We Pray for continued daily strength, weight gain and tumor control to allow us to begin the long awaited AntiPD1 drug! On December 27, 2011 we took Mitchell to Kalamazoo Dermatology to have a few moles removed. The one on his back we were concerned about, but primarily because he continued to pick at it and we had noticed it growing in the last 6-8 months. On January 10 Mike & I were both home when we received a call from Kalamazoo Dermatology that the mole on Mitchells back was diagnosed positive for Melanoma Cancer. At that moment, you hear the word Cancer, and you think your son is going to die. I cant explain it other than crying out to God to take me Lord....not my little guy! I was so thankful that Mike happened to be home and we had each other to fall back on. After a few hours of tears, shock and fear of the unknown we were able to get to a point of THANKFULNESS that this was found and removed- and GRATEFULNESS that this is treatable. Thank you Lord for getting us to this point. We knew we had to tell Mitch and were thankful it was a Tuesday and we would all be home as a family. Mitch took the news amazingly well and has blown us away with his awesome attitude and faith. We were referred to U of M & have since had our 1st consultation which was Wednesday, Jan 25th. You can read the journal entries to get more details on what we know and what we can expect in the next week or two. caringbridge.org/visit/mitchellrossen
