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.
Sorry for the delay in updating. I came home last night and pretty much fell asleep in the chair, so my apologies. Cam tolerated Day 1 pretty well with only one “episode”, so considering how it’s hit him the previous rounds, today was a good day. It probably helped that he was on Benadryl, Zofran, Adavan, and the chemical compound in medicinal marijuana, so he pretty much slept through the morning treatment and was just starting to wake up for the afternoon treatment. LeAnn called this morning saying he had the same problems last night where he stops peeing, so they’ve been hitting him with fluids and lasix to try to jump start him. Hopefully he’ll get going again this morning.
Cam is in pretty good spirits as he knows this is the end of the journey as far as the chemo treatments. He’s been videoing everyone with his video camera and being the silly little guy he normally is. Today and tomorrow’s meds have been easier on him in the past rounds, so hopefully that will hold true again this time as well. I’ll be better about updating after today’s round.
