We had our meeting with the oncologist today and basically we will have to do the radiation, six weeks cranio-spinal. Danielle checked with two docs in NY to concur and we did our homework before we met with Dr. Rood. We are still a bit shellshocked as he has been doing so well, running around, full of energy etc etc. But that is how he was before he was diagnosed in the first place.
We have talked with the boys and explained that the cancer came back but we have treatments Mason can do to fight this and the doctors and mommy and daddy are working really hard to get rid of this stuff as best we can.
Our quest to delay radiation as long as possible is over and now we will do whatever it takes to keep this spirited ,wonderful, active. little boy alive and as whole as possible. So we prepare for the next battle and we are determined to win this one, despite the odds not being in our favor!
Prayers, positive thoughts, and miracles are certainly welcome. Keep him in your mind's eye as you pray and send positive thoughts. We know he and our family are very loved and supported and that has certainly helped us through weeks like these.

Wow, what a shocker. I'm sorry to hear that Mason has some more challenges ahead of him. I will KEEP praying for him and for his miracle of a cure!
Way to go Mason & Mateo keep scoring lots and lots of soccer goals!
Hello Leach family. My name is Sandie Haskins and we too have a little boy with large-cell anaplastic medulloblastoma. Our journey has been a little different as Kyler(age 6) had 6 weeks of radiation first, and we are now going through chemo. My heart breaks for you all as a reoccurrance is scary. We will be praying for you all as Mason goes through radiation. God will give you peace to go step by step through each day. Actually, the 6 weeks of radiation seemed to go by fast in comparrison to the chemo process. Feel free to e-mail me at sandieh0921@surewest.net. Also, Kyler's blog is Kylersupdates.blogspot.com. It has his journey in the last year along with his current site which is http://web.mac.com/dkhaskins
Take care!
Sandie Haskins
