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.
It has definitely been a big week in the Jackson household. Monday’s clinic visit went extremely well. Cameron’s counts are coming up nicely and without assistance. Dr. G was very pleased with his progress and pretty much cleared him for regular activities. So on Wednesday of this week, Cameron went back to school for a few hours. He was so excited to return. As a matter of fact, I couldn’t find him when it was time to go and when I opened the garage door…well he was sitting in the car with the biggest smile on his face. I wondered if he would be shy walking back into class after all of these months but he wasn’t. He just said “bye mom” and joined right in. By the time I walked back down the hall and into the office, I was so emotional! What a moment!!! And today, we took Cameron into the OR to have his central line removed. When I walked into the post-op area, I went straight to his bed, lifted his gown, and tears filled my eyes as I looked at his little bare belly; a true sign that this part of his journey is OVER! How great is our God!
