His Beloved Mom
It was in 2003 that his mother, Melanie Shaha, first learned she had a pituitary tumor. It was a time of distress for the family, especially Matt, who had always been closest to her. But he was a strong boy and did what he could to help her.

It did not take long for Matt and his family to be faced with a difficult choice. His mom had to make a decision that would change her life forever. Despite the dangers, Melanie had a surgical procedure performed on her.
Normal Life Once Again
After the operation, Melanie’s doctor informed her that they had successfully removed the tumor. The family returned to normal life, although they were relieved that the crisis had passed. Everyone was happy to have Melanie back on her feet, and Matt was glad that he could spend time with his mom again.

However, their joy and relief were short-lived. Unfortunately, Melanie’s tumor returned in 2006. This time it was more aggressive than before. The tumor had grown back and was even more difficult to remove.
