AJS 2015-17 cancer medical fund

I hate this.  If I thought there was another way I'd do it.  We are going on our 8th year Fighting this brain tumor.  It has been exhausting...mentally...physically and financially.  I thank God everyday that we have had people along the way who have cared and helped.  Last January, AJ had a major resection... the neurosurgeon was able to take quite a bit out.  The tumor was then tested for the BRAF gene...which is present in his tumor. There are specific  clinical trials to attack that gene which has a huge part in the tumors activity and growth.  The closest trials are at UCSF. Our oncologist gave us 4 options as the tumor is once again growing into areas where something needs to be done.  One of those options is being a part of a clinical study at UCSF.  Financially i cannot do this on my own...it will require a lot of travel...time without pay, while still trying to maintain our household in Idaho.  I have had a few people approach me regarding a fundraiser and we are going to go to UCSF if we can raise the money.  We had to do something right now though so we are starting oral chemo today and heading to Boise every other week.  We will be doing tjis for 2-3 months and take a scan to see if its helping.  After the scan will be brain tumor clinic and if enough money has been raised we will head to San Francisco.      Please...if you can donate. ..even if its only $5, $10, $20 .... it will mean so much to us...n if you can't ....please consider prayers or sharing our page to help my son feel loved n supported.   Cancer is rough...especially going on your 8th year.  It is so very hard to watch a teen suffer from hopelessness n helplessness.  It is especially hard and frustrating  to know there may be a better way to fight this monster than the way we have had to settle for at this time.  Thank you so very much for caring n sharing!
