Brycen Mearns and family battling brain cancer

Hello, my name is Danea Stogsdill and I am Brycen’s mom.

In 2015 I found out my son Brycen had a brain tumor (which has been slow growing). He gets regular MRI scans to check on it. Its location is really close to his right auditory nerve. Well recently we have noticed he has had some hearing loss. So he just had a scan recently and in the last 18 months the tumor has almost doubled in size and last week we had a hearing test done and he has now become moderately deaf in his right ear. We go to Seattle childrens hospital for all testing and such. Last Wednesday his tumor was presented to a tumor board. After meeting with surgeons they do want to go in and see they can safely remove the full tumor and if they are unable to then we will have to look at other options. The surgery will probably be within the next month. Funds will be used to help towards medical bills, chemo pill medication that he will be on for 1-2 years, food, and other miscellaneous expenses. Prayers are very much appreciated ❤️

Brycen is the sweetest, most incredible boy ever and everyday makes me proud to be his mom!
