Brain tumor

Brain tumor

This is truly powerful beyond words. This father has gone to extraordinary lengths to show his love and support for his sick young son by getting a tattoo on his head matching a scar the boy bears from brain surgery. The 8-year-old was diagnosed with an anaplastic astrocytoma, a type of malignant brain tumor, the treatment for which was surgery. However, after the surgery, his father became concerned about how the scar left behind on his son's head from the surgery was affecting his self-confidence. In fact, the little boy told his dad that he felt like a 'monster' with the scar. A fact that simply broke his father's heart. So, to help his son feel normal, he came up with the idea of getting a tattoo on his head to look identical to his son's cancer scar. 'I told him if people wanted to stare, they could stare at both of us. By @nataliewolfe (his cousin). Check his Facebook page “prayers for Gabe Marshall” or their GoFundMe page called Team Gabe.
