It was a shock to us, both his dad & I (& grandma) are registered nurses. He never had any medical issues or indications of illness. In fact, two days before his seizure, he played in a soccer game & did amazing! Alex was rushed to the ER, where a scan showed a large mass in his brain. He was then immediately flown, 5 hrs from home, up to Doernbechers Childrens Hospital in Portland, Oregon. In May, the neurosurgery team gave us some of the worst news a parent can ever hear, Its cancer. The mass turned out to be a Grade 3 - Anaplastic Astrocytoma, an aggressive brain cancer. Alex has had four deep brain surgeries, all within a month; the neurosurgeon equated the tumor to the size of a banana. After the surgeries, Alex would cry in pain, begging for his old life back. he kept asking, why me?!, what did I do to deserve this?, am I going to die?...
