Ty was diagnosed Sept.1st of 2016 with Medulloblastoma. The only symptom he had beforehand was irritability. Then he had concussion like symptoms in a soccer game that led us to ER.
Ty had surgery, radiation, and chemo and is in a St.Jude clinical trial. He ended treatment last July and has scans/treatments every 3 months to monitor changes in tumor. So far- all staying the same.
Cancer changed our life so much! I stepped away from work for a year and lived in Stanford with Ty while the rest of the family (brother, sister, and husband) stayed in Tahoe. This past year, it has been constant physical therapy, behavior therapy and many days of not going to school. All 3 kids are in a charter school so it is flexible and we can do independent study when needed. I lost my position and only work part time now. My husband has to work overtime to pay bills.
Ty is brave and wants to make a difference to others. He’s pondering of writing a book to share his journey.
