Son Diagnosed at Age 7

My son was diagnosed with grade 2 ependymoma when he was seven. He was getting headaches and throwing up. It was devastating. The doctors were not hopeful. He had surgery and radiation and is cancer-free. 

It’s been 14 years since his diagnosis and is now thriving like a normal young adult. We are thankful for all the info we learned from CERN during that time.

TAGGED WITH: Ependymoma
