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.

Everything went well!

I’m sorry I didn’t post last night.  I am sure many were anxious to know how Cameron’s trip to the operating room went.  “Duke time”, as we call it, was actually “on time” yesterday.  YEAH!  They took Cameron back immediately and called for his platelets.  Dr. G came by to talk to Cameron and then actually walked him to the OR.  He is such a sweet man!  The procedures went smoothly and we should find out the results of the lumbar puncture sometime next week.  The endoscopy showed moderate irritations in the top portion of Cameron’s stomach.  The doctor took a few samples to clarify if these spots were viral, bacterial, or fungal.  He said it could be the many medications Cameron is on, the chemotherapy or a combination of the two.  We should have those results by Monday and then Dr. G can adjust his medication if need be.  Cameron is feeling really good and just the happiest little boy these days.  He is very excited about having two weeks off before his next round of chemotherapy.  I cannot believe July is almost over.  Back in February, the final stages of his treatment seemed like a lifetime away.  But we are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.  Oh how blessed we have been in this journey!!!  Much love to you all!

Glad to hear this week has gone better than expected. Cameron is tougher than most adults! Hope your next two weeks can be enjoyed by all. We are praying that these next two months will go as smoothly as possible and all of his test results will be clean.
In Him, Leslie and Chris Chitwood
