Danyon's Cancer Treatment Fund

Danyon is a smart, caring, funny, 15 year old with a big heart and desire to make people laugh. He is a sophmore at Hermon High School, an honor roll student, is a member of the chess team, and is a cadet in the JROTC program. He is an incredible big brother to his 4 siblings and cares for them beyond measures.

11/10/16 Danyon was at a chess practice when he became confused. He was taken to St Joseph Hospital and CT scans revealed a brain mass. He was transferred EMMC where more testing concluded a temporal parietal lobe tumor that caused increasing seizure activity.

He was referred to Boston Children's Hospital and made several trips for more imaging of his brain & spine and to prepare for surgery.

12/5/16 Danyon underwent a 10 hour tumor resection surgery at Boston Children's Hospital. The days following surgery were very rough for him due to pain, high level of aphasia, and right sided peripheral vision loss. He was able to return home the following weekend as each day was better than the day before. In home speech and occupational therapy sessions are 3 times a week as well as neurology and oncology follow ups.

12/16/16 During the follow up with the oncologist, devastating news was received. Danyon has been diagnosed with high grade infiltrative glioma- aggressive brain cancer, a form rare in pediatrics.

Danyons battle has gotten longer and harder. He will begin radiation for 5 days a week for 6 weeks begining in early January once he has healed from surgery followed by intense chemotherapy.
