Daniel Ricker - an Arizona boy's story of faith, hope, courage and survival from a Pilocytic Astrocytoma Brainstem Tumor
Daniel is a very active 7-year-old who enjoys rock climbing, biking, swimming and riding his scooter. He even tried "sheep riding" at a local rodeo. He also enjoys playing, learning and is a good friend.
Daniel had always been right-handed. Then he began using his left hand for writing. We thought maybe he really was left-handed. Daniel continued writing with...
Dear Survivors:
On January 29, 2002 our son, Daniel Morrison, was walking through the house holding onto his right arm like he had had a stroke. It was limp and he told me, "Mommy, my arm doesn't work anymore." I was beside myself. My fiancee', EZ, had noticed that Daniel's arm wasn't right a couple of weeks prior but I did not want to see it. I had been taking Daniel to his pediatrician during that previous year because he was falling down a lot, having bilateral knee pain, and...
Dear Friends,
Beginning in May of 2000 my son, Paul Weiner, began vomiting in the morning unexplainably. After these symptoms became worse, we finally took him to Hershey Medical center on 7/04/00. He was diagnosed with medulloblastoma, a deadly, highly aggressive, brain tumor. He had an operation to remove his tumor the following week. We were given two weeks to decide what post-surgery treatment option to follow. They wanted to administer chemotherapy and radiation. I wanted to...
Our daughter, Josslyn, was 9 1/2 when she pointed out to us that her left leg had a slight shake or tremor to it. We thought it was a pinched nerve or something. A month later (Dec.11, 2001), the tremor was now in her left arm as well. A cat scan was ordered and it showed that she had a brain stem tumor. She was given only a 20-30 percent chance of lasting an extra 1-3 years if she did chemo/radiation. This was not a cure but a poor chance at an extension of life. She was given 4-6...

Hello, my name is Valerie Mason. I am 17 years old and have also survived cancer twice, once when I was seven and the second time, approximately thirty three days ago. January 1997 I was diagnosed a brain tumor in the fourth ventricle, called Medublastoma. Surgery was done almost immediately to remove the tumor at Children’s Memorial Hospital in Chicago, where we were living at the time. After the surgery, according to the surgeon, nothing visible was left and was a very easy...
