Welcome to the first post of the Friends of RJ blog.Today was the first step in what promises to be a long journey for Jessica and RJ. This morning, he was diagnosed with Burkitt's lymphoma and began an aggressive chemotherapy regimen that will likely last for months. As of this writing, he is sedated and his pain is managed while test results come in and countless questions are answered.
So how did this happen? RJ has always been extraordinarily healthy. If you've met him in person, he is so broad and tall that he looks like he is at least 16, although he is only 13. He swims competitively and bikes all over town. All of this was true until late last week when he began complaining of stomach trouble. Knowing that he never complains, Jessica took it seriously and brought him to the hospital on Thursday. Thinking it was just a common problem, they treated him briefly and sent him home. After the symptoms worsened, he was brought back to the hospital, where test results showed that it might be something more serious.
Over the weekend, RJ was transferred by ambulance to Oakland where he was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of lymphoma - a cancer of the immune system. In order to treat this cancer successfully, RJ will have to spend many months in the hospital receiving intravenous chemotherapy. A few good websites for learning more about Burkitt's lymphoma are MacMillan.org and Hanna's Hearts of Hope.
We all expect that RJ will be one of the many success stories and beat this disease. Research in the past few decades has brought a much better cure rate for lymphoma than at any time in the past. RJ and Jessica need everyone's love and support during this difficult time.
So what can you do to help?
* Watch this space for updates. We will try to post at least once a day to keep everyone informed of his progress and anything the family needs.
* Send cards and letters. RJ will love getting mail from people throughout this process and we will make sure to get it to him right away. You can send mail to:
R.J.
c/o C. Jaynes
1042 Glen Drive
San Leandro, CA 94577
* Comment on this blog! Jessica and RJ (when he's able) will see all of your supportive words so feel free to leave a comment or two.
* Many people have asked if they can donate financially. We are in the process of setting up a special bank account and PayPal link for people to contribute a gift to help defray the cost of medical treatment. Jessica will be taking a significant amount of time away from her teaching job and many of you know that there is another baby on the way. Any financial gifts will be more than welcome as they face this challenge. Watch this blog for a Donate button in the next few days.
There is also a fundraising concert in the works - we will post news as soon as we get it . For now, send your positive thoughts and wishes to RJ and everyone who loves him as they face the toughest journey of their lives.
Thanks so much!

Hi RJ,
ReplyDeleteWhen I think of my young sons, I can only imagine how scary and overwhelming this must be for you, But I also remember you as my 3 year old 'little buddy', with all your spirit, curiosity and enthusiasm and I KNOW that you are Exceptionally strong and brave.
We believe that God has an amazing plan for your life, RJ, and that He will use this difficult time to shape you into the young man He dreams for you to be. I've asked my friends and family to be praying for you RJ, for your mom and baby sister. I wanted to share this beautiful prayer that my friend Mandi sent for you. It brought tears to my eyes and a hearty "Amen!!" from my heart!
"Lord Jesus, Jehovah Rapha, Lord that heals, we lift up Jessica, RJ and this new baby sister. You hold all things in Your almighty hands. Jesus, this just seems so big, but we know that you are bigger and we give it to You. Please heal this family. Please give Jessica Your strength that surpasses all understanding and an overwhelming sense of peace throughout. Please give her the grace she needs in each hurdle that comes. Provide the help that she will need from others along the way. Please give the doctors supernatural wisdom, and RJ's body the strength to fight. Lord, please use this families situation to glorify yourself, and to draw others to you. Lord, we plead on their behalf, and ask this in your Son's name knowing that you hear us, and will always do what's good and best. Amen."
We think about you and pray for your healing and strength all through the day!
All our of love,
Debbie, Aaron, Isaac, Josh and Grace Texeira
Hi RJ and Jessica. Imagine our surprise to hear this sudden unfortunate news. RJ, we have known you since kindergarten and one thing we know is that you are one strong young man and your mother is a great lady. Between the two of you we are confident that you will overcome. Our thoughts are with you.
ReplyDeleteJim, CJ, Ricky, and Jazzy.
Way over here in Germany I just found this out on Facebook. I'm devastated and know that if there is anyone with enough strength of character to beat this, it is you, RJ. You were a unique and entertaining student. Hold on to the laughs that life brings you whenever and wherever they are!
ReplyDeleteJessica and RJ,
ReplyDeleteMy heart is with you both. RJ, you are your mom's pride and joy. We know you're strong and very loved. I'm so sorry you'll have to deal with so much time in the hospital. You have many friends and supporters.

ReplyDeleteDear RJ and Family,
ReplyDeleteAlthough we have never met, I see you all the time when I am dropping off my 4th grader, Jordan. You have the best energy and presence! It was always a pleasure to see you. It really broke my heart to hear your story and I'm so sorry life can be so hard sometimes. I can't wait to see you strolling down campus again soon. This time I will say hello and give you a big hug if that isn't to horribly embarrassing. All our love and prayers from the Agur-Jackson family to yours. Please let us know if there is anything we can do (meals, errands, clean up the house, whatever...). Friends of ours used a site called Care Bridge to organize support if that helps. Blessings, Roxanne
Wishing and praying for the best for you both. Terry & Nancy Hueffed

Everyone is going to be thinking of you. Love you,
ReplyDeleteJessie :)
Hi RJ and Jessica, I'm Sol and Remi's mom from Reach. I just heard about you this morning, the morning of the culmination here at Reach, tears came to my eyes and my heart swelled to hug you and hold you in this moment of need as it continues to do so.
ReplyDeleteI have been helping direct our little "glee club" at school and this has been a source of great joy to me, for music is sacred and a precious expression of the soul, in any form. Today, Justin asked us to dedicate the little song we've prepared for the Culmination Ceremony to a very special and wonderful person who may benefit from it greatly at the moment...you. You may remember this song. you may have even heard a few student's humming it in the hall the last few weeks...Lean on Me...by I don't know who...
I couldn't think of a more appropriate song. I personally love that song and I now know why it just happened to be the first and only real song we ever worked on during our 5 week glee club...
The students sang beautifully and with much love...I just want to remind you of a few of it's words...
Lean on me, when you're not strong and I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on.
For it won't be long 'til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on.
So please RJ and Jessica...Lean on!!!
You have a whole bunch of people here who are ready to step up and help a sister, a brother, a mother and a friend..even a stranger!! So please, share your load and just call us! (even by blog!!!)
Love. Light. and a Song in our hearts for you, precious friends!!!
Alex
We are sending strength and hope your way! Quinn Sterling and family.
ReplyDeleteRJ - What a beautiful boy you are. I can't stop thinking about you and I am sending the strongest mojo to you, more than I have ever sent to anyone! There is so much love all around you. I hope to be spending an evening with you soon. Kisses to your mom. I love you both very much. Your friend Lisa Aquilina xoxoxoxo
ReplyDeleteYou're in our thoughts and wishes. Cancer gives us tough choices -- which of the tunnels under daily existence gives us the best chance to get out into the light of day again. We want you well and going strong.
ReplyDeletePlease, Jessica, remember the obvious: we ARE here for you, for the absurd and the mundane -- so let me know what I can do for you.
Your friend, Karen
Jessica,
ReplyDeleteI am thinking of you, and wanted you to know I will keep you and RJ in my thoughts and prayers. Please know there is a whole legion of people who want to support you and RJ (and your little boo too), as you fight this very winnable battle. Sending my love and healing prayers...
Maura (from Steele Lane)

We just moved to Sebastopol and my younger son Devin goes to Brookhaven. My older son Scott is 14. Scott was diagnosed with Bukitts when he was 6. He spent 6 months at UCSF. He is now almost 8 years in remission. We went through the same scenario with the abdominal pains and getting diagnosed. So glad to here RJ's was caught so early. I pray everything goes as well for RJ as it did for Scott. The battle is just beginning.

RJ & Jessica, I'm a friend of Cynthia's and my son Jared is friends with Taemon. I want you to know that I beat Burkitt's Lymphoma and so will you! You can find the inner strength to help you through this. You are young and strong! Focus on healing and reducing your stress. Think of the wonderful life that is waiting for you when this is over. Take it one day at a time and let the love and prayers of family, friends and strangers into your body to help give you strength to get to the next day. You are in my thoughts and prayers each and everyday and will continue to be until we are through this... Todd
ReplyDeleteRJ & Jessica, I'm a Todd's cousin, from Italy.
ReplyDeleteI want you know that my family's prayers are for you. You must be strong, now. It is going to be a very hard test, but you have the skills and the energies to deal with it, to overcome the obstacles and defeat the ill.
Never lose your faith and hope.
Focuse all your energies on the final goal, try to smile every day, despite the difficulties, trust doctors and never discourage.
Never doubt of the final victory.
And, one day, I'd like to meet you vacancing to Italy and celebrating life together.
God bless you all! (Nico)

Dear Jessica and R.J.,
ReplyDeleteHello. We don't know each other yet, but I am Jill Goldreyer, and my daughter, Yara, is in the 4th grade Reach class. As part of the community I am writing to send my love and support, and also offer you a surplus supply I have of Xango, which is a medicinal botanical juice made from the mangosteen fruit and peel that thousands of people have used to heal from cancer and help them better weather teh affects of chemo. If you want to do any research on it look up the word "xanathones", a key constituent, and cancer. There have been many studies made. Or you can write or call me at 291-7059 and I will be glad to tell you more.
I am wishing your whole family the health and peace.
Warmly,
Jill
