Jacob is such a kind young man. He has a funny, sarcastic sense of humor. He lives for golf. Golf has helped him focus on something other than his diagnosis.
Jacob was having frequent headaches. I already had one child diagnosed with cancer, so the pediatrician wanted to do a scan to make sure Jacob was okay. We figured it was just migraines, none of us expected it to be brain cancer.
We currently are scanning every few months to watch for tumor growth. He deals with frequent headaches and nausea.
Having two kids with cancer has been absolutely devastating. As a single mom, this has been challenging in every aspect of our lives. Traveling over two hours away for appointments has not been easy. Throughout our journey, we lost our home, my job, and our sense of normalcy. We try to live each day knowing it is a blessing, but that fear never goes away.
