STT. Latest update on Will Roberts: Beginning experimental treatment as time slowly runs out
California was unlike anything they had ever imagined.
They didn’t come here for tourism.
It’s not because of the blue sea or the golden sunny days.
They came because of an opportunity.
A slim chance that home cannot offer.
That is the sole objective.
Simple, yet suffocatingly heavy.
But what they experienced since arriving here… far exceeded all expectations.
Words fail to describe it; one would have to believe it was a miraculous arrangement.
Something bigger than themselves.
Something they can only name with faith.
From the very beginning, the doors opened in ways no one expected.
These strangers became a source of support.
They didn’t ask too many questions.
Without hesitation.
They simply extended a helping hand.
Give them a place to stay.
Give them a sense of belonging.

In a city that wasn’t home, they found something akin to family.
That warmth doesn’t come from long-standing acquaintance.
It comes from compassion.
From hearts that understand the pain of others without needing an explanation.
Each meal is shared.
Every question.
Each gentle hug.
They were all like small pieces of a puzzle, quietly healing a part of them in some way.
And then, today has arrived.
A day they will never forget.
They entered the medical facility with a sense of familiarity.
Prepare for things to be like they were before.
Repetitive processes.
The explanations were dry and uninteresting.
The nods were filled with anxiety.
But this time… everything is completely different.
The atmosphere is different.
A different look in his eyes.
Their perception of Will was also different.
For the first time throughout this journey, there was a medical team that went beyond simply looking at medical records.
They look at people.
They looked at how the boy lived.
They pay attention to every little detail.
And then, they said something that seemed simple but deeply moved the mother.
No processed foods.
Limit your sugar intake.
They didn’t say anything extreme.
It is not asserted that sugar is the cause of the disease.
Avoid making controversial statements.
They simply suggested that it should be limited.
But that very gentleness carries immense weight.
Because that’s something she’s been saying for a long time.
From the very beginning.
From the very beginning.
But it’s difficult.

It is very difficult to get a child to change their eating habits.
Especially when there are so many different voices around.
“Just let the boy eat whatever he wants.”
“There’s no clear scientific evidence.”
“Don’t make it more stressful.”
Those phrases were repeated over and over.
And gradually, they made her voice fainter.
It even came under suspicion.
She doesn’t blame anyone.
Because everyone wants the best.
But that didn’t lessen the feeling of helplessness.
And then today…
Will heard that.
Not from my mother.
And it came from them.
From people wearing white blouses.
From people he trusts.
Something had changed in his eyes.
No explanation needed.
Just need confirmation.
Sometimes, children don’t listen to their parents.
It’s not because they don’t believe.
Because they needed a different voice to reinforce that.
A voice from outside.
A voice carries weight in its own way.
And that moment… touched the mother’s heart.

Not because she was proven right.
But in the end, her son listened.
This journey has pushed them beyond limits they never imagined.
Physically.
In terms of spirit.
And spirituality too.
There are days when I’m so exhausted I can barely stand.
There were long, sleepless nights.
There are moments when it seems impossible to continue.
But they still went.
One step at a time.
Slowly but surely.
And today…
Like a confirmation.
It was as if someone was telling them:
“I have guided you from the beginning.”
“I’ve always been here.”
They didn’t come to California to find comfort.
They came to seek opportunities.
A chance to live.
But what they found was much more than that.
Being human.
It’s kindness.
These are doors that opened at just the right time.
It is the peace that emerges amidst the chaos.
A feeling that’s hard to name.
But it was enough to convince them they were on the right track.
And today, there’s one thing they’re certain of.
They are in exactly where they need to be.
It’s not a coincidence.
That’s not a mistake.
It’s part of the journey.
And most importantly…
They have hope.
Something that seems fragile.
But that’s what keeps them standing.
They are not alone.
Because there are many people behind them.
Prayers.
The messages.
Any help, big or small.

All of these factors contribute to making this path less bumpy.
Less loneliness.
Less scary.
Good news has also arrived.
Will’s platelet count has increased to 80,000.
A number is not just medical data.
It is hope.
It’s an opportunity to take another step forward.
He has been able to receive his first dose of DeltaRex-G treatment.
A name that sounds unfamiliar.
But it also carries a lot of expectations.
It wasn’t a miracle.
But it could be the door.
A new direction.
An opportunity they had traveled thousands of miles to find.
The journey is not over yet.
They will be back tomorrow.
And the whole day after that as well.
Three doses of treatment per week.
Each time is a challenge.
Each time is an opportunity to place your trust.
If Will’s body responds well.
If the platelet count reaches at least 100,000.
They will take another step forward.
Combination chemotherapy with DeltaRex-G.
A big step forward.
But it’s also full of risks.
However, they had no other choice.
In addition to continuing.
Besides trust.
They prayed.
Not for the easy way.
But give what is right.
They prayed that those in positions of power would see the potential of this approach.
That it will be approved.
That other families wouldn’t have to travel as far as they did.
That hope will not be limited by geography.
Their story is not just about illness.
It’s about people, not people.
Regarding beliefs.
It’s about how the world, despite its harshness, still has bright spots.
The light sources are bright enough to guide the way.
Enough to keep a family from falling apart.
And amidst all of that…
One thing has always been clear.
They haven’t given up.
And they won’t give up.
