Waylon's Cancer Struggle
Donation protected
HI - - - My name is WAYLON LITTLE, I am ELEVEN years old and I have Medulloblastoma which is a type of brain cancer. A few weeks ago, I was a typical kid who loved sports. I played football, baseball, soccer and basketball and was Captain of my football team. My dream was to play for Alabama's Crimson Tide or the New Orleans Saints. Then, I started having terrible headaches and after several CAT scans and MRIs at the Sacred Heart Medical Center in Pensacola, it was determined that I had a brain tumor. The very next day, I had to have emergency surgery which was the entire day! I stayed in ICU about a week, came home for two short days and had to be taken back to the hospital and once again placed in the ICU unit. At first, they said that I had a blood clot on my brain but after another CAT scan, that was ruled out. They can see either a residual piece of the original tumor or another small tumor about the size of a small pea. Now, I have to go to Jacksonville, FL, for CHEMO and RADIATION for 8 to 10 WEEKS. They have placed a MEDA PORT in my chest in order to receive the Chemo which will be done at Nemours Childrens Hospital. I will receive Proton Radiation 5 days a week at the University of Florida and after I return home, my radiation will continue in Pensacola. Though my family has a lot of love, they are working class people and do not have the financial means that this kind of tragedy demands. PLEASE - - - If there is any help you can give, it will be GREATLY appreciated!! THANK YOU SO VERY, VERY MUCH!!
