Procedure or Surgery: a few hours after the 8 hour surgery my son develloped Posterior Fossa Syndrome also knows as Cerebral Mutism... this was a shock as no one had told us this could even happen and it has made dealing with this cancer SO much worse. He just finished proton radiation and chemo and can't even go and have some fun to forget this ordeal for a few hours.. instead he is stuck in his body that cant move as he wants to. NO WALKING NO TALKING NO NOTHING....
