On 3/17/10 (St. Camerons Journey

St.

Patrick's Day) we had an MRI appointment from the pediatrician to see why Cameron was vomiting often and complaining about his head hurting at night. At that time we were told that Cameron had a Ependymoma Brain Tumor that needed immediate attention. So we traveled directly to the Florida Hospital in Orlando. Cameron was scheduled for brain surgery on Friday 3/19/10 to have the tumor removed. Afte

r 99 days in the Hospital in 2010 - re-teaching Cameron how to walk talk and eat again, and MRI's every 3 months - a tumor reoccurred in June of 2011. So on 6/3/11 Cameron went back in for surgery to have the second tumor removed. Cameron will be completing 23 radiation treatments to prevent any further occurrence. Patrick's Day 2010 was the day that our lives were turned upside down. We were told those words that no parent ever wants to hear. Your son has cancer. He was diagnosed with Ependymoma, a brain tumor. He was sent to Orlando for emergency surgery. He spent 99 days in the hospital, had to relearn to walk, talk, & eat. After surgery, the day after his third birthday he started radiation treatments. He had to endure 33 radiation treatments under sedation. Cameron was then sent to Jacksonville to a rehab hospital for one month.

1st Reccurance - We were told that Cameron has scar tissue that is growing at his incision site that needed to be removed. Once the surgeon went in to remove the scar tissue, he discovered that it was another tumor. Cameron then had to endure 25 more radiation treatments.

2nd Reccurance - Cameon's skull was showing 8x thicker then it should be in the MRI. It was then discovered that a tumor is growing into Cameron's skull. He had to have a huge portion of his skull removed and had to wear a helmet for 4 months. He was then accepted into a chemotherapy trial at St. Jude in Memphis, TN for the summer.

3rd Reccurance - The trial at St. Jude showed a new tumor growing since starting the trail and he was removed from the trail and sent home to start a new trial at Arnold Palmer Hospital. We were told that to be eligible for this trial, he could not have surgery to remove the tumor. Cameron's mri showed growth in tumor and was removed from this trial.

4th Reccurance - Cameron's recent tumor is growing dangerously close to his vein and the surgeon in Florida says it is inoperable. After speaking to the surgeon at St. Jude, he was willing to try to operate. The pre-surgery MRI showed that he has a second and new tumor. He will start a daily oral chemo and a bi-weekly chemo infusion after surgery.

5th Reccurance - Cameron went a whole year with no tumor, but unfortunately he now has a new tumor growing at the vein site, again. We will be having surgery in Memphis, TN and will be discussing treatment options after surgery.

Yesterday we got to deliver five custom Bags of Hope to pediatric oncology patients at AdventHealth for Children and Arnold Palmer Children’s Hospital.

Each bag was filled with new bedding for their hospital bed, pajamas, gift cards, and lots of fun surprises to help bring them comfort, joy, and hope during a difficult time.

Two of these bags are especially meaningful, as they are for a very brave little boy and his little sister as they prepare for a bone marrow transplant journey. The brother will be donating bone marrow to help save his sister’s life, and we wanted both of them to know they are surrounded by love and support.

We are incredibly grateful to our supporters who make moments like this possible. Because of you, we can continue bringing comfort and smiles to local childhood cancer families when they need it most.

Sending a huge thank you to 811 Salt & Vine for hosting Live Like Cameron’s Mother’s Day Event.

A huge thank you to Masks for Miracles and Remax Select Professionals for donating 50 incredible swag bags for Prom at AdventHealth for Children last weekend!

This prom is such a special night for pediatric oncology teens who were unable to attend their own high school prom due to cancer treatment and hospital stays. Thanks to your generosity, these teens felt so special and loved.

The swag bags were beyond AMAZING and the teens absolutely loved them! Each one was filled with fun surprises including an Owala, disposable camera, and so many prom goodies that made the night so memorable.

We are beyond grateful for your kindness and support in helping Live Like Cameron make this prom an unforgettable experience for these brave teens. Thank you for bringing so much joy to a night they will always remember.

Last week, because of our incredible Live Like Cameron donors, we were able to bring joy, comfort, and hope to three amazing pediatric oncology patients

One sweet little boy absolutely loves soccer, and his favorite player is Cristiano Ronaldo. We surprised him with brand new bedding for his hospital bed featuring his favorite player, along with a Bag of Hope filled with all kinds of fun soccer-themed goodies. He even shared pictures with us, and seeing his smile meant everything!

We also created a special Bag of Hope for a teenage girl who loves Florida State University — filled with FSU items to bring a little piece of home to her hospital room

And for another brave little guy who loves Pokémon, we packed his bag full of fun, comfort, and Pokémon-themed surprises to make him smile.

Because of our amazing donors, these children and teens battling cancer were reminded that they are not alone. You are helping us bring light into some really hard days, and we are so grateful for each and every one of you. We are excited to deliver four more Bags of Hope tomorrow as well.
