from Help and Hope Happen Here · host Mark Levine
The Pediatric Brain Cancer Medullomayoblastoma is not the same cancer as the much more common Medulloblastoma. On today's podcast Michael Pruitt will talk about his son Rylan who was diagnosed with this cancer when he was 5 years old in the spring of 2021, and passed away from it at the age of 6, on March 10th of this year. Before Rylan's diagnosis, only 51 cases of this cancer had been diagnosed with only 1 known survivor. Michael will also talk about the Rylan Strong Network that he founded, which has a major component of trying to enact legislation that will make certain that insurance companies and the particular hospital that a child is being treated at will pay for treatment, even if an insurance contract has not been signed.
