Michael is my 13 year old cousin and has Myxopapillary ependymoma. He has had one surgery to remove as much of the tumor as possible but there are still sheets of cancer cells left on Michael's nerves and to remove them would have meant severing the nerves. His is a rare case. They see one about every four years. There are only 10 facilities in the country that can do it because it's a special kind. His mom will have to be in Irving with him for six weeks. They are needing financial help due to having to miss work while he receives his treatment, food, lodging, and gas. Please help this family!!
