Meet Abraham
In February 2018, Abraham’s right eye temporarily turned inward. The eye doctor said it was probably muscle weakness, common at that age. But Abraham started having headaches in the morning and would sometimes throw up. Even watching TV made the little boy’s head hurt.
A CT scan finally revealed the cause of Abraham’s issues: He had a mass on his brain, identified as a cancerous brain tumor called a medulloblastoma.

“As a parent, you spend your whole life trying to keep your children from getting hurt,” said his mom, Andrea. “It broke my heart. It made me so scared for him.”
Abraham underwent months of treatment, including radiation therapy and chemotherapy, at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
Abraham, who is now 6, is cancer free and returns to St. Jude for regular checkups. He loves playing outside with his sister, coloring with his dad and is very excited to be learning to read.
