Our awesome Alex's story started long before he was born and when I (mom) was in kindergarten and my brother Jacob was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma.  As I watched my parents navigate his pediatric cancer journey little did I know that as a mother I would experience something similar.  On July 31st Alex was diagnosed with stage 4 grade 3 Medulloblastoma.  Here I stood in the same hospital that my brother received treatment listening to the doctors tell us that our son would now need emergency surgery, one week later a shunt, and then 6 rounds of chemotherapy in hopes that this might cure what they found on his MRI.  We are just beginning this long and winding road of treatment and will begin our second round of chemotherapy in October.  Both my parents, my husband, our son Jacob and myself are happy to share our story with anyone in hopes that they may find comfort as we navigate the road to Alex's wellness.
