Background

On April 22, 2011 Hoffman was having breakfast with his parents when he became unresponsive. He was then rushed to the local hospital in Atkinson, Nebraska where he had a grand map seizure lasting 30 minutes. He was flown to Children's Hospital & Medical Center in Omaha, Nebraska, Nebraska due to the life-threatening seizure. He was subsequently diagnosed with a brain tumor. While at the hospital, Hoffman continued to have up to 10 to 12 seizures per day even though he was taking anti-seizure medication. On May 20, 2011 he had surgery, but the neurosurgeon could only remove a small portion of the tumor. Subsequent pathology showed that it was a cancerous glioma, pediatric brain cancer. Hoffman's parents then consulted Boston Children's Hospital for a second opinion. Neurosurgeon Liliana Goumnerova told the Hoffmans that she could remove the golf-ball sized tumor.
