Aaron Simon is an all around great person. Here is a little background on Aaron. Back in April 2017, after several months of back pain, he received an MRI which showed a mass in his lower spinal cord. Surgery was performed to remove this mass... and was it was sent to pathology to determine exactly what it was. After 5 long weeks of waiting he was called by his surgeon and given the diagnosis of cancer. To be specific Ewings Sarcoma PNET. Ewings is a very rare cancer usually found in children and in bone. He said in his case it waited 43 years to develop and was in the soft tissue of his spinal column. With this diagnosis he was referred to an oncologist and it was determined he would need intense chemotherapy and radiation. The type of chemo he required had to be given inpatient so he spent the rest of 2017 and beginning of 2018 in and out of the hospital for treatment. Treatment was tough but the good thing was it was working. In April 2018, he had clear scans, meaning no signs of residual disease. He was on to the next phase of his treatment and started proton therapy radiation at MD Anderson in May of 2018. Unfortunately by the end of June he developed new symptoms and scans showed several new lesion from the base of his skull to the area where he was receiving radiation. Emergency radiation on his entire spine and more chemo were given to stop the spread of the cancer once again. He was happy to report that since treatment in July he has no symptoms of reoccurrence, and his scans were much improved. He continued to take chemo but it is an oral drug and he was able to take it from home. Unfortunately, he returned for more scans last week and found out the cancer has moved to his brain and it is incurable. I would like to do whatever we can as a team to help Aaron and his family through this difficult time, we would like to raise enough to send Aaron and his family to Disney World. Any amount helps. Please continue to pray for Aaron and his family.
