Unbelievable Coincidence

I received an email from a person named Scott the other day. He went to the Justin's Quest website after searching the Internet. He has a very touching story. He has 4 boys all with names that start with J's as we also have 4 boys with first names starting with J's but most compelling his second son named JUSTIN has a brain tumor also. Our Justin is our second son also.This is very eerie. Scott's Justin is 9 years old and has had to endure 3 surgeries and proton beam radiation. Scott and I talked and could not get over our similar situations. We sent the family Justin's Quest wristbands. Scott's Justin sent me a very touching email thanking me and saying that he will always wear the band. My Justin was very touched by the story as was our whole family. We hope to get both families together to meet soon. Justin is still on the radio and please go visit www.abc2.org.
Thanks!!

We Got Another Pass

We thankfully received great news that Justin's brain tumor is stable and we can again hold off treatment. There is definitely someone upstairs looking out for him and blessing him for all his fantastic work that he has done for the brain tumor community.We are so proud of Justin with his strength and courage to fight this and help others with brain tumors. It was a very stressful couple of days leading upto and the day of his MRI and doctors' appointments. Unless you go through it personally it is impossible to grasp the magnitude of this event. That being said we know that everyones' prayers have really made the difference in keeping Justin safe. We cannot thank everyone enough for your love and support. Also, we want to thank the generous people who have recently made donations to Justin's Quest benefiting ABC2 (www.abc2.org). Our radio campaign recently has helped make a big push and a increase of donations. Without money, there cannot be research and without research there cannot be a cure. Sorry for the delay in writing this blog in giving the great news but we have been so mentally drained that I had to gather the strength to sit down and write. Thanks again to all of you for your support!!!!

Off To Boston We Go!

Tomorrow is Justin's appointment at Mass general in Boston. He will get his MRI and meet with other doctors. We feel so lucky to have such a great team at Mass General. It seems crazy how time flies. It seems like we measure time by each MRI and hopefully getting the news we want to hear " we get a pass and can put off treatment". As always MRI time is stressful for the whole family and especially Justin. We want to give a shout out and big thanks to Jay Rosenberg and his wonderful staff from Rosenberg Media. Jay has orchestrated the unbelievable radio coverage this past week and continuing on WTOP. Justin and ABC2 have received so much attention thanks to Jay. In addition we need to thank WTOP radio and Clear Channel for donating their air time for this wonderful cause. They are all helping us raise awareness and getting us closer to a cure for brain tumors. We will fill you in after our big day in Boston. Again, please visit www.acb2.org and Justinsquest.com for more information. Thanks for your support!!!
