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.
As LeAnn posted earlier, Cam went back to holding fluid again this afternoon and has spiked a fever tonight, so Dr. G. has made the call to cancel tomorrow’s med…we’re not sure if it’s for now or for good. So…it’s certainly not the way we wanted to end this journey, but except for Friday’s stem cell reinfusion, it looks like we might be done with Chemo. Dr. G. told LeAnn missing this one dose wouldn’t have any bearing on if the tumor would come back or not, so he could not justify the health risk for Cam to continue. I’m sure we’ll evaluate things again tomorrow, but as of right now…we’re done.
Please pray for Cam to get through the fever and fluid retention and peace of mind for us.
Update...Cam is now having low blood pressure readings as well, so it's going to be an interesting night to say the least. Please pray his body can fight all this off.
