Well, there is good news.
You remember Jack Hoffman. He’s the little boy with cancer from a little
Nebraska town who made the long touchdown run in Nebraska’s spring football game.
It was one of the great sports moments of the year, a little boy’s Husker heroes letting him feel the sensation of scoring a touchdown in Memorial Stadium, inspiring him, encouraging him.
Jack has been off treatment for three months, and his tumor hasn’t grown. He is likely to need more treatment eventually, but doctors say that’s no guarantee. The family says there is a 33-percent chance he’s simply done getting cancer treatment.
Jack was diagnosed with brain cancer two years ago at age 5 and nearly died from a seizure. When doctors examined him they found a mostly inoperable tumor on his brian. The tumor was causing a type of epilepsy that gave Jack seizures that even medicine wouldn’t stop.
A specialist removed most of the tumor during a second brain surgery. That stopped the seizures but the remaining 5 percent of the tumor was still a problem.
