As we expected, given Mason's symptoms, the MRI results were bad. Dr. Rood (who has been incredible) and his team indicated that the best guess is that Mason has about 2-3 weeks to live. We will make the best of that time, and he will not be in any pain. The tumor has grown around his brain stem and the spots on his spine and tumor at the base of the spine have grown as well. We reviewed some of what may happen and discussed some options to keep him comfortable and at home until he passes if we can. We are working with hospice as well.
As you can imagine we are reeling from the news. We ask that you hold us in your hearts as we pass through this time and pray for a quiet, peaceful transition for Mason into the next phase of his existence.
We will post sometime tomm how people can help as we make plans and get ready for the next few weeks.

In one of the stars, I shall be living.
In one of them, I shall be laughing.
And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing when you look at the sky at night.

What Cancer Cannot Do-- Cancer is so limited; It cannot cripple Love; It cannot shatter Hope; It cannot corrode Faith; It cannot destroy Peace; It cannot kill Friendship; It cannot suppress Memories; It cannot silence Courage; It cannot invade the Soul; It cannot steal Eternal Life; It cannot conquer Mason's Spirit!
In loving memory of Mason Robert Leach
In one of the stars, I shall be living.
In one of them, I shall be laughing.
And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing when you look at the sky at night.

Danielle, I can't believe I have yet to meet you, but it's totally obvious that you're an incredible and strong person. You did well Baron! Darby and I are so incredibly sorry for your loss and all your family has been made to endure. Please know that even in this time of despair, your sharing of Mason's story is a special gift to us all.
