Location: Greenlawn, NY, US Age: 11
James Dreifuss is a 7 year old boy who was diagnosed in May 2007 with bithalamic astrocytoma. His cancerous brain tumor cannot be surgically removed. He received radiation treatment to his tumor last summer at Memorial Sloan Kettering in New York City. James' brave attitude was always noticed and praised by doctors, friends, teachers, and people at the Ronald McDonald House. Everyone has been very supportive. Well, his tumor never shrank and now we just learned it has started to grow. He just started taking the chemotherapy pill drug Temodar and anti-seizure pill Depakote.
James likes to read and play on the wii. He also likes Webkinz and Curious George. His 10 year old sister, Diane, is his best friend. We all hope his brain tumor will disappear with chemotherapy treatmen...
