This is the story of my sweet 12 year old, Bronson, and his fight against brain cancer.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to hear the words “your child has cancer” and walk through those first shocking days and weeks, you can go back and listen to episodes 1–6. That’s where I share about the day we found his tumor, his emergency surgery, the diagnosis, and the four long weeks we spent in the hospital—what we called phase one. Phase two took us to the U.S. for eight intense weeks of treatment—30 days of combined chemo and radiation. It was brutal, and honestly, that’s exactly what it was meant to be. Bronson’s type of cancer is regenerative, which means it can grow back and so the goal was to wipe it out completely. Those weeks left him underweight, exhausted, and constantly sick to his stomach. But after the hardest stretch, we got the best news—his MRI showed amazing progress! There had been tumor left after surgery, but after the chemo and radiation, it was virtually gone. Praise the Lord!

Now we’re stepping into phase three bringing us back home in Canada.
