We got test results that show that my daughter’s type of cancer is “very high risk.” She has my same sense of humor, and we joke that we don’t need to go to a haunted house this year bc we have scary at home
Update on my 19-year-old daughter who’s battling a brain tumor: it’s medulloblastoma cancer. The most easily treatable forms of the disease have been ruled out. Waiting on test results to know more. Daily radiation + chemo start first week of Nov. Please pray. 🙏
