A two-year-old boy from Lanark who has spent the past month at CHEO is set to travel to Boston in the hopes of permanently removing a brain tumour.
"It started Easter weekend, his throwing up, holding his head, and not being able to walk properly," she tells CTV News.
"It was the size of a lime that they had removed from the back of his head, so pretty big," said James Hogan, Phoenix's father. The family will receive a call and leave for Massachusetts at the drop of a hat at some point this week. "It's just to be able to raise as much as we can to get them to Boston and bring them back home healthy," says Claire Duval, Jessica's aunt who is organizing the fundraiser.
