Elliot and Erica said they have been as honest as they can be with their children while they do everything they can to keep their family whole.
Erica said: “Elliot’s focus is to stay alive, and my focus is to think about what happens if we can’t do that…
“How do I manage our kids, how do I guide them and then dealing with my own emotions. Yeah it’s tough.”
The couple hope that by raising awareness of glioblastomas, they can help other people many of whom are receive the same prognosis in the prime of their lives.
“We want to create a foundation,” Elliot said.
“Obviously, we don’t come from a medical background, but just to be able to give the guidance to people in a similar position.”
“Maybe this was unfairly handed to us, but we have to make something out of it,” Erica added.
“Families like us are going through hell and there isn’t much help, and if there was, then that pressure on everyone involved would be slightly alleviated,” she said.
“We have to try everything,” Elliot said, “I want to stay here as long as possible – I want to see my children grow”.
