"Everything went perfectly"

Dr. Levy said everything went perfectly. They were able to remove the cavernoma without any complications. It was located in the angular gyrus area of the brain. We will need to monitor his abilities in speech, calculations, and writing to see if they were affected. He is still in recovery and we haven't seen him yet.

A quick summary of Les' condition.

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.
