PRAISE GOD!!!! PRAISE GOD!!!

THERE ARE NO TUMORS IN LES’ BODY!!!

We just received the MRI results late this morning and they didn’t see any tumors in his brain or spine. I was hoping for a reduction in the number of tumors, but this news was better than I expected.

I really don’t know too much more than this right now. We will continue with the chemo treatments and I’ll ask more questions about what the future holds when I can. We were given the news while Les was playing computer in the schoolroom and I didn’t think that was the appropriate location to pepper the doctor with questions.

Thanks for the prayers. Keep them coming!!!

A quick summary of Les' condition.

Visit the archives for more information...

In April 2003, Les Fountain (4 years old at the time) was diagnosed with high-risk medulloblastoma, a cancer in his brain and spinal cord. He had a tumor removed from his brain in late April 2003 and there were tumors in his spine that were inoperable. In May 2003, he began radiation and chemotherapy treatments. The radiation treatments concluded on July 11, 2003. The chemotherapy treatments ended on June 9, 2004. On Les' November 2003 MRI scan, there were NO TUMORS in his brain or spine!!! He's still clear today!

In January 2015 Les experienced a seizure and needed a cavernoma removed from his brain.

In 2022 Les's mobility started declining. After a year of exploration, it was determined that the cause was most likely cerebellar atrophy.
