During the 2nd course of treatment she received radiation - at about the age of 4. - she has a few motor skill issues -- not serious and definitely better than the alternative I think these folks need to get a 2nd opinion!!! Shands in Gainesville FL has a wonderful neuro-surgical depart & radiology. my daughter has been treated for a brain tumor 2x that grew on the stem cell.

She is now 9 and perfectly healthy. A lot of people prayed for her and the prayers were answered. May God bless you with strength and healing.

She was told by two of the top children's hospitals in the US that it could not be removed and she would die. Her parents refused to give up and finally found a surgeon. He removed 70% of her "inoperable" tumor. She was making great strides in rehab and was expected to walk again. Until they found the surgeon, she had been on chemo and radiation for almost a year. They damaged her body so much. She ended up dying because of the medicine that was supposed to help her. Please don't let that happen to this little boy. Would the moderator please give this name to this mother? She deserves to give her son a fighting chance! Maybe this doctor will review her child's records and be able to help. I was told by this young lady's parents that you never stop getting second opinions when your child's life is on the line.

I suggest a 2nd opinion. Not sure who said an 8 year old is too young for radiation because it is done on infants that have AT/RT malignant brain tumors everyday. I suggest a 2nd opinion.

Please at least talk to him before your son becomes any sicker. I know personally of someone who has been seeing this doctor for breast cancer for over 10 years and is cancer free and has not been sick one day since her original diagnosis. Good luck.

My son was diagnosed at age 6 with a brain tumor and underwent brain surgery and radiation treatments. He will graduate college in May. He has done well.

It sounds like the place he's being "treated" doesn't have the expertise needed to get this little guy well. Too YOUNG for chemo? A six year old from my community just completed (quite successfully, I might add) chemo treatments for cancer. She was treated and healed at St. Jude's. I hope it's not a case of a doctor refusing to refer the child to someone better qualified. The mom should really get a second opinion and keep at them until she finds someone that can treat her son. Prayers and blessings to them both. Why isn’t this little guy at St. Jude’s? It sounds like the place he’s being “treated” doesn’t have the expertise needed to get this little guy well.
