Arthur was diagnosed with a brain tumor in July of 2011 at the age of 2 1/2. A juvenile pilocytic astrocytoma of the optic pathway to be more precise. Arthur had neurosurgery in July '11 which de-bulked his golf ball-sized tumor by 75%. There was an excellent chance that this would take care of the tumor for good. Unfortunately, at his 3 month(ish) follow-up MRI in November, we learned that the tumor had re-grown significantly. He started almost immediately on chemotherapy. Chemo has helped to shrink the tumor, but he continues to receive treatment.
