Seven-year-old Cameron Bulger was just like any young boy his age — cheerful and filled with laughter. However, after suffering from silent seizures in his first grade class early in 2018, Cameron was diagnosed with a Grade 4 CNS Embryonal Tumour in his brain, requiring an intense treatment protocol including six rounds of chemotherapy, three stem cell transplants, and proton radiation therapy.
“We had noticed some behavioural changes in Cameron, but never once did we even consider the possibility that he would be diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer,” his mother, Sharon Bulger, says.
Over the next six months Cameron was admitted to the hospital full-time in order to receive treatment. On Cameron’s intense treatment, Sharon says, “Honestly, cancer treatment is so brutal — the effects of the chemotherapy wreak havoc on so many of the body’s systems. But it is amazing how incredibly resilient kids can be.”
