We had a wonderful Christmas and I pray that each of you did as well. What a difference a year makes? Last Christmas, Cameron was in my cousin’s wedding, had a full head of hair and we knew nothing about Medulloblastoma. One year later, Cameron has almost fully recovered from his tumor resection surgery, withstood both radiation and chemotherapy, is finally gaining some weight (and hair) and I feel like I know more about brain tumors and Medulloblastoma than I ever cared to learn. Needless to say, this Christmas was so special for both Ernest and I. Words cannot say how blessed I felt watching both my boys enjoy Christmas morning together for there were times this year I wondered if we would remain a family of four; God has been so gracious to us! However, I would be lying if I said I wasn’t ready to see the calendar turn to 2009. Below is a picture of Cameron and his much requested MarioKart track (however, he drives his Hot Wheels on it more than he does Mario and Luigi). Happy New Year to you all! Blessings always!
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.
