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.
Just a quick update on today’s treatments. Cam was able to take on the meds today with only a couple episodes of vomiting. They both occurred with the secondary med which is to protect him from the Chemo drug, so while it's had a positive effect with no high pitch hearing loss, it has definitely worked on him during the time he’s received it. I guess it’s a "small" price to pay to protect his hearing, but it's so hard to see him going through it.
He pretty much was able to sleep through most of the morning and early afternoon and by the late afternoon, he was sitting up in bed playing with his cars and feeling pretty good considering all things. This was the night during the last round when he spiked a fever and stopped urinating, so we’re obviously in prayer that we won’t have a repeat episode of that.
We’ll update again tomorrow with more news. Thanks all for the continued support.
