Kendric Campbell, a sweet and adorable 3 year old boy from Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada, has been diagnosed with Medulloblastoma. After multiple visits to the doctors everyone thought it was “reflux”. Kendric's parents had enough and demanded for something to be done. Kendric was sent for a CT scan where it showed he had a brain tumour. The tumour was located on/near his brain stem. Kendric and his mother Erica were flown from their hometown in Moncton, New Brunswick to Halifax, Nova Scotia to meet with a specialist at the IWK Health Centre on Monday, October 10, 2011. His father Mark and 8-month old brother Davis have joined them in Halifax in what is turning out to be a very heart-wrenching time for their family. While at the IWK, they were told the brain tumour was inoperable. This was a very difficult time for Mark & Erica. After further consultation, the medical staff decided that they would operate on Friday, October 14th. With a 50/50 chance, Kendric made it through a 9.5 hour brain surgery. The sweet little boy showed his strength that day!! The next day, the MRI showed that the doctors were able to remove all of the tumour from the brain. The next step was to complete the pathology to determine what type they tumour it was. Four days after the surgery, the results showed that it was malignant and called medulloblastoma. Kendric must now go through an extensive chemotherapy and radiation treatment for the next 24 months, still staying at the IWK in Halifax, NS.. several hours drive from his home. The family's hardship does not end there! His mother Erica, is on maternity leave with their 8 month old son. To make matters worse Mark is unable to work due to the travel commitments and to be with his family. We are asking for any support that you could provide--- If you can raise money at work, do a zumba class, bake sale, donate, provide gift cards.. or be creative to provide this family with one more miracle---it would be greatly appreciated......
