Welcome to Billy's Page, We hope you'll come away from your visit here with a greater understanding of the World of Childhood cancer. Yes, Billy's Page is about the 'C' word, the BIG C, the Devil's disease; and yes Children get it too.
For those of you who have been with us for the past 7 years as we've fought the fight of our live's, Welcome back. For those of you who are new to Billy's Page, and the 'World of Childhood cancer'; please CLICK HERE and open your eye's, as well as your heart, to this terrible disease as you read Billy's story. You'll never look at a bald headed Child the same ever again, I promise you. There are 89 page's that make up the daily, weekly, and monthly update's as Billy fought for his life; as well as hundreds more page's I've authored that include photo's of Billy's surgeries, Dr's, Family and Friends. I have spelled out, in sometime's graphic ways, what it's like living in the 'World of Cancer'. As you thumb through the over 525 page's of this web site you'll laugh, cry, gasp, and just be overwhelmed with a new understanding about cancer, and our Children.
To the left is a Photo of Billy as he looks today. He doesn't look like a cancer patient, does he. Billy, or Bill, as he like's to be called now; is in the 12th Grade at St. Pete. High School, and is an Honor's Student.
**Yes, in the collage below, is an actual photo of Billy's initial surgery when his femur (pictured) knee, and hip was removed. To the left of it, is his 'new expandable femur'.

6 years ago today, My Son was being prepared for what we hoped, and prayed would save his life. Enroute to All Childrens Hospital was a small package with Billy's Name on it. On the 4th of March 2004, at 1:20 pm, Billy received a bone marrow transplant. A 25 year old Male, a PERFECT MATCH, in Minnesota, had agreed to be a Donor for an 11 year old Boy in St. Petersburg, Florida. My Son's Life was saved that day, and we will be forever Grateful to George H., Billy's Donor, who we were so happy to meet 1 year after Billy's Transplant. Thank you George for saving my Son's Life........
