SEBASTIAN LEMOS

2001-2008

Sebastian Lemos LIVED every day of his short seven years of life.  Whether it was dribbling a ball down the soccer field or enduring painful medical procedures, Sebastian faced each challenge with bravery and determination. Though Sebastian lost his fight against cancer, his journey gave inspiration to everyone who knew him.

Sebastian had brain tumor cancer at the age of 4 1/2 years. He was diagnosed with CNS Sarcoma, a very rare tumor in children. After fighting cancer for 3 1/2 years he died on July 19, 2008.

My experience when Sebastian was dying

Monday, July 8th we took Sebastian to the hospital to run the last MRI he would have. They had told us nothing could be done anymore and that he was going to die any minute. We needed to check the status of his tumor, though, to know if it was still there or if it had disappeared. We were very worried because we did not see any signs that showed he would die. I did notice Sebastian was sleeping a lot and his activity level had diminished, but I don´t know when someone is going to die. How does one know when someone is going to die? It´s impossible. It´s uncertain and no one can tell you either when someone is going to die...what day? What time?
