Description
Gabriel has been dealing with a rare and aggressive tumor on his face. The doctors at Clarian North Medical Center/Riley's Hospital North have named this tumor (after the second surgery), Melanotic Neuroectodermal Tumor of Infancy. He has been under the knife a total of seven times, the most recent being October 16, 2008. Three surgeries were conducted by Dr. Freeman, Riley Hospital (Clarian North) in Carmel, IN. The first surgery had been a removal/biopsy of the tumor, the second surgery had been an aggressive removal of the tumor (just before Christmas of 2007), and the third surgery was a deep tissue biopsy. A fourth surgery had been conducted 1-30-08 for the purpose of placing a centralized IV into Gabriel’s chest in order to administer the drugs needed for chemotherapy. The tumor was growing at an alarming rate! The Pathology report that came out (1-24-08) officially re-diagnosed the tumor as turning into a cancerous tumor. MRI/CT tests indicated that the tumor has not spread to any other location, but was large enough that it has become a serious and life threatening concern. The tumor is/was touching his brain, sealed his left nasal passage, and had completely sealed his left eye shut. The doctors have come to the conclusion that, at the time, surgery was out of the question due to extreme risk/danger, and that chemotherapy needed to be started ASAP followed up by a surgery approximately one year from first treatment. Chemotherapy was officially started 1-30-08 at 8:00 pm EST.
