Cameron was diagnosed with Medulloblastoma in Febuary of 2008. After his tumor resection surgery, he underwent six weeks of radiation therapy and four months of chemotherapy. After these treatments, we went back into our "normal" lives and Cameron progressed well getting back into school and the day-to-day of being a little boy.
However, a routine MRI on March 19, 2010 showed his cancer had returned. On November 9th, 2011, Cameron finally conquered his battle with cancer when he opened his eyes to the joys of heaven. Even in these dark days, we know God has richly blessed us by putting so many wonderful people in our path during this journey and we are so very thankful for them all.
This is LeAnn posting the updates today. Eight treatments down and twenty-two to go! It’s hard to believe we are almost a third of the way through Cameron’s radiation treatments. This week went pretty well. Monday through Wednesday, Cameron was his typical vibrant self; giggling most of the day and staying up late. However, on Thursday, his energy level plummeted and he got a little nauseated. I was a little depressed about his sickness thinking this was a sign of what the remainder of his treatments would be like but surprisingly enough, Friday he perked back up and had a great day. We met with the radio-oncologist on Friday and he told us it was typical for patient’s energy levels to rise and fall so suddenly during treatments.
The weather here was beautiful on Saturday and Cameron enjoyed getting outside and back to the things he loves and misses the most; his big-wheel and his bicycle. Here are a few pictures to enjoy of him playing outside.
The most exciting thing about this weekend was that the four of us were able to return to church for Easter Sunday. Here is a picture of myself and the boys in our new Easter clothes.
As I sat in the sanctuary, watching Cameron smile and clap to the music, his brain surgery six weeks ago today seemed like a distant memory. How Great is our God! So on this Resurrection Sunday, I’m sure of two things. One, our Lord is alive, and two, which is evident by the smile on Cameron’s face, is our Lord is still very much in the business of performing miracles.
