Dylan's Story

Dylan was diagnosed on 8/18/08 and arrived at St. Jude Children's Hospital on 9/8/08.  He returned home on 4/3/09 with NED.  Dylan's scans in September came back NED. He was supposed to return in January for scans but he began having numerous seizures on 11/6/09.  Scans were done at Children's on 11/10/09 and at St. Jude on 11/18/09.  The results were not what we were hoping for.  Dylan has a second type of Brain Cancer, High Grade Glioblastoma Multiforme.  He entered heaven on 6/8/10, free of cancer and in loving arms!
