YEEEESSSS!!!! And the decision to continue or not...its so individual...Dave was over the entire process and his personality is so matter of fact...of course we spoke to the doctors but ultimately it was his insistant decision to leave the chemo behind that pushed us all to end it....its been 3years this Sept since he stopped (he did do the tamoxifen until jan. 07) and as you know...clear scans....keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers!

It is important that we get this message out to all families who have experienced childhood cancer in the state of Virginia. Virginia DMV has agreed to design a specialty license plate for Childhood Cancer Awareness after 350 prepaid applications have been collected by the Childhood Cancer Awareness Foundation located in Chesapeake, Virginia. If you are interested in obtaining this specialty license plate for your vehicle, please visit our website at http://www.HelpCancerKids.org On 31 January 2009, the IRS approved our foundation as a 501(c) (3) public charity. The foundation was started by Tom and Joanne Kral of Chesapeake, Virginia as a way to honor Kristina Marie Kral, our 7 year old daughter who died of a rare and aggressive form of pediatric cancer, and to help other children diagnosed with cancer. Order and prepay for your Childhood Cancer Awareness specialty license plate through our website for $25, plus a PayPal fee of $3. If we are unable to collect the required 350 prepaid applications, you will be reimbursed and your application shredded. Thank you for your support for childhood cancer.

That is so inspirational. We are a family living outside of Richmond, in Chesterfield County. Our 5 year old little girl was diagnosed with a Supratentorial PNET tumor on April 23rd. We had 2 surgeries at MCV with Dr. Tye and he ressected 95% of the tumor. We headed to St. Jude Childrens Research Hopsital in Memphis TN for radiation and we just returned home yesterday. We were there for 6 weeks. We head back in early August for 5 months of chemo. (4 rounds). Thank you for the inspiration. We know our little girl is going to be fine and cancer free just like Drew. Thank you for your sharing your story.

She had a very large tumor removed in two separate surgeries. After two weeks at Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin we are home. She is doing really well. The doctors gave us very grim hope as to how long she will live. We have not given up hope and continue to believe that we will find the treatment she needs. I read Drew’s story and it puts a smile on my face. I am wondering if you could tell me what treatments you have tried. I have contacted Doctors in Chicago and will continue to work with the doctors here in Wisconsin. We will not give up. Thank you for your story.

We're praying for you, especially this week. http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/matthewrager Eric Rager Corona, CA - Monday, April 14, 2008 11:45 AM CDT i am glad to hear Drew is doing well with his treatments, you and your family are in our prayers. We are curious how Drew's PT got him to start using his hand again. Skyler was left handed and after being diagnosed with DIPG lost all ability to use the left side of his body, since getting radiation (eight sessions) and starting homeopathy he is slowly getting back his ability to use the left side of his body, he is walking more but is not using his left hand as much as we would like. the PT recommended a restraint method (sock over his right hand) so he will be forced to use the left. I am not sure I am on board with this method, I think there are better ways of encouraging him to use the left hand again. http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/skylersmith Love and well wishes, keena keena <keena_design@yahoo.com> - Friday, April 11, 2008 12:52 AM CDT DEAR DREW AND FAMILY, I COMMENT ON YOUR POWER RANGERS I USED TO WATCH THEM ALL THE TIME!

I think of you all the time. I'm sorry you are in exile. Have you even noticed with 2 brothers around all the time? We dont want you sick!! The flu and chicken pox are such yuk things to have. And anything else that can cause a fever. I feel really bad when I catch things that cause fevers so I know how that it is!! Have a great Easter. Anything special happening at your house? We will have baskets for everyone here, yes, including me!! Its funny for an old woman to get a Easter basket, right? My husband thinks I dont know he is the one who does it. I know that the bunny doesnt come see old women, he has too many children to visit. Shhh. Dont tell my husband I know!! And a big dinner with family and some friends. I'm about to start the cooking. And a big egg something. Usually its a hunt but its only suppose to be 50 that day and its rained so much our yard is like a sponge so we may have to go to our rainy day plan even if the sun is shining. We'll see.

You are in our hearts and thoughts. Love, Kristen and Cassie <kannmartinez@sbcglobal.net> Grapevine, TX - Monday, December 3, 2007 9:33 AM CST Gina I'am floored...I haven't been to Drew's site in awhile...I started visiting sites this morning and cannot tell you how shocked I'am. Drew is now top of my prayer list! He is such a strong kid and has overcome so much. When Dave had his second surgery he too had the gliadel wafers implanted...thank GOD for research because I feel certain this was huge in his healing. I have found through other parents that temador wasn't a big success in treating glioblastoma. I have heard it does well in adults but most of the kids (actually all) that I have been in touch with have had limited success...Dave was put on a protocol from Duke that so far has proven to be working..the CPT-11 with tamoxifen. If you ever want to talk please email me and I will give you my cell#.

I was also diagnosed with a brain tumor (GBM) in February 2005. God is a good God who loves us so much. By the stripes of Jesus we were healed 2,000 years ago. Isa 53:4-5. That means we were healed before we ever got sick! Lord Jesus, we give you the praise in advance for the work you have done, are doing & going to do in Drew's life. We thank you that you have a plan & a purpose for his life. Jer 29:11. We thank you for your Divine Intervention, and for being the Great Physician. We thank you for meeting Drew & his family at their individual points of need. We thank you for beginning a good work in Drew and seeing it to completion. Phil 1:6. I stand in the gap and intercede on behalf of Drew. I plead the precious blood of Jesus over Drew. Knowing that the blood of the Lamb heals, restores, and delivers. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

And Drew you are handling everything so incredibly well! Good for you. You'll like Durham if you're ever able to get out and about. Sounds like you've been VERY busy with the hospital and "dives" (didn't know that's what they called it!). If you want a dining suggestion, Elmo's Diner on Ninth St. is great. Not overly healthy, but a great diner -- the girls love to go there and get the pancakes. Hope all continues to go well. We'll be praying for great results!

Candy Belanger <zacheric02-umbrella@yahoo.com> Livonia, MI www.braintrust.org/audrey - Monday, May 28, 2007 0:26 AM CDT I know that you don't know me however, I had the pleasure of having Drew in my vacation bible school art class at Elon one year. One thing that I learned was that he was filled with love. Every day he came in it was always a hug and a kiss on the cheek. From that moment on Drew had a piece of my heart. Even when I would go to school to pick up my youngest daughter Melissa, Drew would greet me with a hug, kiss on the cheek and a smile. My heart goes out to Drew and your family.

Glad to hear that Drew is doing so well. I always think about that little guy and I knew today was the day we all wish never existed on the calendar. Thinking of you, Drew, your family and Alex today. The spring and nicer weather always makes me think of Brianna more and more. Of course Caitlyn talks about her all the time and takes pictures of her pictures. At 5 she knows more about loosing someone precious than most kids. I pray we didn't share too much information with her about Brianna. She is a loving, compassionate little girl that asks way too many questions. I don't know where I would be without her. I am going to send Alex a balloon today filled with love and hugs from New Jersey. Give Drew a BIG hug from me.

Then he wrapped it with paper and shiny string It really was such a pretty thing. Disaster struck when I opened the door- He slid across the parquet floor, He went round the corner and past the stairs And finished up in a pile of chairs. Of the Easter goodies not a trace, he’d thrown them into my fireplace! So a warning before you go opening doors Make sure your “Bunny” has non-slip paws!

Just stopping by to let you know you are in my heart and prayers May God draw near and fill your heart with strength and grace, but most of all, hope. There is constant joy abiding In Christ my Lord and King; Of His love that passeth knowledge My heart and tongue shall sing. He is all in all to me, And my song of songs shall be, Hallelujah, O my Savior, I am trusting only Thee. When my path is veiled in shadows, And clouds above me roll, I can smile amid the tempest, His glory fills my soul. I can see his bow of promise Through tears and trials deep; I can hear His voice like music, That lulls my care to sleep. I shall yet behold the praise Him, And dwell in perfect peace In the golden land of beauty, Where cloud and wave shall cease. Sending a ton of prayers your way.

So happy for little Drew and the entire family, as we are fully aware this disease effects everyone! I sure do know where you are coming from about the poison....I hate that Dave has been on chemo since June 03...with that break last summer for him to regroup (the gliadel wafers were implanted so I felt sort-of protected>>) but it's looking like the doctors want him on this protocol until March 2006!!! That will be about 2 years and three months of chemo plus the 33 radiation treatments....I'm just as nervous with him on this stuff as I'am off it!! David does not want to be on it until March and he has input according to the docotors...so we shall see.....you guys are always on my mind, we're in the same fight, prayers of wellness, healing and a CURE!!!

Dave said he's stopping for the summer...wants to go to New Jersey as usual and NO CHEMO he said.....well you know that stopping isn't really a choice right now (he started up again in Sept. 04) but he's made up his mind.....I'm not getting into it with him at this point....maybe Children's in Philadelphia will administer it.....it's so tough because he's got a very strong definete personality, he's almost a teenager and he wants to just have fun....so, I'll cross that bridge when I get to it...meanwhile...God Bless and hugs and prayers to you and yours and YYEEEHAAA for that MRI!!!!

I pray for a miracle of healing for you. Gina, you are amazing! Sharie Shaw <ShawSB01@aol.com> Richmond, VA Henrico - Sunday, January 9, 2005 4:35 PM CST I sent this letter to the Today show after seeing a story about a lady in Texas whose son was over seas helping the tsunami victims. He ask her for some stuffed bears or toys to give the children. I kept thinking about all the ones I have now that need good homes. All the ones that look at me every day. Most never even met my Angel Maxie, they would love a child of their own. They sent this email back: (You can call the Highlander School in Dallas, Texas. The number is 214-348-3220. Thanks ) I was thinking each of us could send a few and maybe our schools or church groups could also. (I thought about all of us on Caringbridge.) Name: Julie Lagourney, Maxie's Grandmother Comments: I saw your story about the "Bears For Tsunami" and I have a question. My Grandson Maxie (10) just passed away this past March. He was given a lot of stuffed toys. Some we would love to give to new homes. I know the lady in Houston in your story does not want all the bears in the USA sent to her. Can you tell me can they be sent to you. Can make sure they get to the right people to be given out. I also thought about eye glasses also. I know all the people lost those too. I keep thinking of all the wonderful people I have met this past 2 years that have lost children to cancer, that must have a lot of the same stuffed animals I do. I bet they just do not know what to do with now either. What a great gift it would be in our Angels memory to give them to the children of the tsunami. Do you know who I should get in touch with to send them, or should I send them to you?

Angel Chris {Gooch's mom} and all your friends at ~ Smile Quilts ~ - Thursday, December 23, 2004 9:38 PM CST As we reflect on all of our blessings this Christmas Eve, we think of Drew. Even though this innocent child has been through hell, he has taught us and continues to teach us all how to brave the impossible, to love unconditionally, and to freely express happiness and joy at the simplest things. At Stephen's concert last week, it was such a pleasure to see the pure exhuberance of glee as Drew was dancing to "Jingle Bell Rock" and having the time of his life. May God continue to hold him and all of the Goodmans in the palms of His hands, and may all of you be blessed to hear those precious, magic little words "he's in remission" sometime next year! Merry Christmas, guys! Love, Dad and Phyllis. Steve & Phyllis Morris <pmzephyr3200@aol.com> Chester, VA USA - Thursday, December 23, 2004 7:13 PM CST This message is for all of the Goodmans. :) May God bless you all, and I hope that you have a wonderful Christmas.

The holidays are tough enough with everything else....it's just nice to have this blessed news.....we go back again the end of January or beginning of Feb. And glad to hear all went well with Drews dental work. Funny, the year I was on chemo my teeth were effected as well...and I had been on coumadin because all around my port I had developed blood clots...meanwhile the dentist didn't want to touch me...which I can understand so I waited out like 3-4 months and figured all would be fine...I ended up having all 4 wisdom teeth pulled, two crowns and some cavitites filled...this happened in a years time and I was always the twice a year dental patient (my uncle is a dentist)...chemo can really do a number on the teeth! I really would love to talk with you...I know we tried awhaile ago...phone tag is normal when everything else is so chaotic! After the holidays I will try again!! Meanwhile, have a wonderful holiday and lots of hugs and well wishes to you and yours!!!

God bless your sweet little heart, Drew, and God bless your family for having such faith and love after all they've been through. "Great is thy faithfulness, great is thy faithfulness.

Tammy <tbattista@aol.com> Mechanicsville, Va USA - Monday, June 7, 2004 8:52 AM CDT Drew you are just so cute and so very brave! Hi Gina, I got Drews website through pediatric brain tumor group. My son David was diagnosed with a GBMIV last 5/6/03. He had the 6 weeks of radiation, 42 days of temador- then 10 rounds of temador which finished May3rd/04...he had another brain surgery 5/19/04 for re-growth in the same spot...they implanted the gliadel wafers this time...they do not suggest he has anymore radiation due to the huge amount he had last year...so we're going away for awhile, he just was so angry with the results but seems to be bouncing back to his old self...he will start a new chemo at the end of July- CPT-11.....it's also oral..if you need to talk let me know we can exchange #'s...I understand how tough this battle can be...keep up the great positive attitude and God Bless!
