After experiencing blinding headaches in early August of 2021, Shawn Mahoney's 6 year old daughter Layla was diagnosed with a High Grade Anaplastic Supertentorial Ependymoma, which is a form of Pediatric Brain Cancer. After her initial surgery on August 2nd of last year Layla had to undergo another surgery just 5 weeks later, followed by 33 rounds of proton therapy, followed by another surgery on March 11th of this year, which finally completely removed her tumor. On May 18th, DNA/RNA sequencing showed that there was an 81.82 chance that her cancer would NOT come back and Layla was able to complete her academic year in school. There have been new developments in her case since this podcast was recorded and they will be talked about on my Outtro.
