Deklin Jobe Bare's Sarcoma Story:
Deklin Jobe Bare turned 7 years old on November 1st, 2022. He was born and raised in Kalispell, Montana just like his mom, Miranda . After a few months of being sick last fall (2021) and the doctors trying to get to the bottom of things, he was diagnosed with a rare presentation of a skull based tumor on November 23, 2021. On February 21, 2022 he was formally diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma. The tumor has also caused damage to the 9th cranial nerve causing speech changes as well as the need for a GI tube for his source of nutrition. His tumor had a fast growth rate and began to press into his brain stem and caused him to become very ill there was no other option then to treat it so on February 24th he started his first round of chemotherapy. He has had consecutive chemotherapy treatments every 2 weeks for the last year, 5 days on chemo, a week off, then on for 3 days and another week off, with additional lab draws and neupogen shots in-between. After his 5th treatment in Kalispell, Montana which was the first week of May he went to Denver Children's Hospital where he continued his chemotherapy treatments just like in Montana but in addition, started targeted radiation treatments. When those were completed, we made our way back to Kalispell to finish out the remainder of chemotherapy. Deklin has been nothing but strong and brave. He's a true warrior. #FightLikeABare
