Doctors want  to determine whether he is eligible for a blood stem cell transplant,  his best hope for beating neuroblastoma, a rare childhood cancer, which  was diagnosed in November 2004.   <img src="http://i36.tinypic.com/2w32cr5.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Derek is tearful as Cyndie tries to reason with him at the UC Davis  Cancer Center on Feb. 14, 2006. She and Dr. <a href="http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/player.php?a=r&n=83754" target="_blank">William Hall</a> argue that Derek  should have a series of radiation treatments to shrink tumors spreading  throughout his body and alleviate his pain. "Derek, you might not make  it if you don't do this," Cyndie tells her son. Derek fires back: "I  don't care! Take me home. I'm done, Mom. Are you listening to me? I'm  done."   <img src="http://i37.tinypic.com/fjqmnp.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Derek has a final burst of energy after days of Cyndie keeping vigil at  his bedside. She helps her anguished son walk on April 26. A cancerous  tumor has distended Derek's stomach so far that his pants no longer fit.  Another tumor in his brain impairs his eyesight making navigation  difficult inside their rental home.   <img src="http://i33.tinypic.com/98t7yx.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Cyndie French fights her emotions May 10, as she prepares to flush out  Derek's catheter with saline solution before hospice nurse Sue  Kirkpatrick, left, administers a sedative that will give the 11-year-old  a peaceful death. "I know in my heart I've done everything I can,"  Cyndie says.   <img src="http://i35.tinypic.com/4lhe83.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Cyndie rocks her dying son as the song, "Because We Believe," plays on a  cd. She sings along with Andrea Bocelli in a whispery voice. "Once in  every life/There comes a time/We walk out all alone/And into the  light..." From left, family friends Ashley Berger, Amy Morgan and Kelly  Whysong offer comfort as Cyndie tells Derek, "It's OK, baby. I love you,  little man. I love you, brave boy. I love you. I love you." Derek died  soon after in his mother's arms on May 10, 2006.   <img src="http://i36.tinypic.com/2jcaona.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Cyndie leads Derek's casket to burial with assistance from her sons  Anthony Moffe, foreground, Micah Moffe, opposite him, and Vincent  Morris, who is not visible, as well as several friends. "I will forever  carry your memory in my heart and remind others to give of their time,  energy and support to other families like ours," Cyndie says at the  funeral. Derek was buried in Mount Vernon Memorial <a href="http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/search.php?s=Park+in" target="_blank">Park in</a> Fair Oaks, California, on  May 19, 2006.</blockquote>
