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.

Go Dawgs and Round 8 is beginning...where does the time go?

We went to see UGA play this weekend…FINALLY getting a win and had a blast.  It was so funny watching Cam yell “Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooo  DAWGS!!!  SIC’ EM!!  WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF!!!!”  He and Connor had their UGA jerseys on and took in all the sights and sounds of a great day in Athens…especially since we SMOKED the Vols.  Sorry to any Tennessee fans….not really.  ;-)

Round 8 is starting tomorrow and it’s so hard to believe it’s that time again already.  We’re adjusting the dosages on the chemo this time around as Cam really dropped his weight last time which made us all nervous.  Luckily, he has been eating much “better” and has put the pounds back on, but we’re hoping he won’t drop the pounds during the round this time.

I really struggled last month as it should have been the two year post chemo point for his original treatment and would have been the big moment where he would have almost been cleared.  Instead of celebrating my birthday with joyous news like that, Cam was in his seventh round of chemo fighting to eat anything and looking like a frail little boy who struggled to even get out of bed in the morning.  It’s such an emotional rollercoaster already seeing him fight all of this again, but knowing he was SO close to being out of the woods just crushes LeAnn and I.  Cam continues to inspire us daily, so we quit our whining and try to live up to his example…shouldn’t we all.
