A Christian praise song to support the family and memory of little Sammy Massa... and to praise JESUS our Lord who will wipe away all the tears soon...
Here is the story:
Samuel was 22 months old when he was diagnosed with (PNET) Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumor stage 4. In May of 2012 he under went a major brain surgery in hoping to get a biopsy and the neurosurgeon was able to remove 80% of the tumor, Samuel fought the last 20% of the remaining tumor with chemotherapy for 6 months including high dose chemotherapy at the Children's Hospital of Wisconsin. Samuel was in remission as of November 2012 and he was to do follow up MRI scans every 3 months... Samuel had to re-learn how to walk again after his surgery. He had an awesome summer at home! You never know the meaning of "Home Sweet Home" until you literally can't go home and you live in the hospital and the Ronald McDonald house for 6 months. We are a Family of (6) Daddy,Mommy, Sister, Brother, Samuel and little brother... August 21st 2013 Samuel had his routine MRI scan and we received devastating news that the Tumor was growing back! He had a repeat MRI in 4 weeks time September 18th 2013 to see if the tumor would grow and it did. Neurosurgeon scheduled a brain surgery to remove the tumor in 2 days time on September 20th 2013. The neurosurgeon was able to remove the tumor! Samuel will need 3 weeks to heal after surgery and he will have a port placed and will start radiation and chemotherapy following that... We as a family are hoping, praying for another Miracle!
