Great News; Son-In-Law is Kicking Cancer's Butt

Post by LRP1 »

My son-in-law, Jason White, a Greenday Band member, is beating throat/tonsil cancer. He is finished with all Radiation/Chemo treatments and Dr's tell him the prognosis is very good. However, the next 10 or so days will be hard for him.

Billie Joe Armstrong gave him a 1958 ES 335 guitar to cheer Jason up.

That's great news Cal.

It would have been really cool if that was one of Merle Travis's guitars.

Great news indeed Brother. It can be done, my sister just beat throat cancer as well after months of chemo and treatment where she literally was asking my mother to just let her die she was so sick.

She fought hard and is doing very well now. May he also continue to progress and be declared cancer free as soon as possible.

Sending prayers and thoughts Brother.

Great news, I will continue to pray for a speedy, full recovery. By the way, I also found out that my daughter is a fan of your son-in-law.

Jake,
I hope (have sent daily prayers to GRITS) that you too are on the mend and doing better.

Jason is ding well. The Dr's think they got it all. Radiation and chemo were hell for him though. His last MIR DID NOT show any cancerous cells. He is still not back to full strength yet, however, he has been sitting in on GD jam sessions.
