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.

Round 2 has begun

Cam started his second round of the oral Chemo meds last night, and as usual, got his multiple pills down with no problems.  Hopefully, he’ll be able to tolerate it as well this time as he did last time.  Please pray for his mind, body, and spirit to endure all of this…my biggest fear is he’ll stop being the sweet, funny little boy we all know and love.  So far it hasn’t happened, but I know all of this has to be wearing on him.

On a much happier note, we’ve got the Hawaii trip pretty much buttoned up including swimming with the dolphins at our hotel on the Big Island.  The boys will get their own time with the dolphins and the hotel will take pictures/videos of the entire session, so we’ll get them posted as soon as possible.  I’ve also bought a protective enclosure for our Flip video camera which will allow me to take it into and under the water, so hopefully I can get some cool videos as well.

I met you (Leann) at Bob's Buddies radiothon (I'm the one who took your donation). I saw Cameron on WTVD on Friday and was heartbroken to learn his cancer has returned. I wanted you to know he is at the top of my prayer list. I'd love to know of future events that I can help with. Contact me at lisabailey1963@yahoo.com.
