On August 3rd my world stopped. I brought Eddie in for an MRI which I thought would tell us he was getting migraines. When they said "the doctors will be in shortly to talk to you" my hear sank. I knew it was bad news. "Your son has fluid built up which is causing the headaches" "the build up is caused by these two masses." I lost it. I couldn't breathe. My perfect, sweet, caring 15 year old has a tumor. After 2 biopsies they confirmed CANCER.
But this type of cancer is very curable. Over a 90% survival rate. Here we are exactly one month later & on day two chemo. Eddie has been so positive & is so happy to have the support of the few people who knew from the beginning. I don't understand how he is handling this the way he is other then the fact that he is amazing. My kids amaze me everyday. So positive thoughts & prayers for him and our family are much appreciated. Thanks for the love we have received so far."
