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.

I hope all is well! Billy had a scheduled appointment with his Surgeon Dr. Letson at Moffitt in Tampa this afternoon. X-rays of his leg as well as his chest were done, and ALL is well! Dr. Letson see's no need for a lengthening at this time, or the near future.
