Jeff and Kristen Eaton
Jeff and Kristen Eaton have run an evidence based multidisciplinary clinic in Cambridge, ON for the past 20 years and enjoy volunteering in the community. Caleb, Ella and their parents have always been active with sports including downhill skiing, dancing, swimming and hockey. In November 2016, Jeff Eaton was diagnosed with a WHO Grade 2, Diffuse Astrocytoma from T5 - L1. He had a double laminectomy/biopsy followed by a course of radiation therapy. With this diagnosis, many of the activities that we enjoy as a family have changed. We are happy to share our story in the hope that it will help other patients who are living with a tumour or cancer diagnosis.
