Blood Cancer
Lex
Alexander, aka Lex, began losing his energy and his appetite over the course of a month. He also had a fever for a few days and a week of severe muscle aches that were attributed to a virus. However, lab work done at the ER was normal. Lex did not fully recover and even developed additional symptoms like pain in his shoulder, chest wall and left elbow. After a night of severe chills, sweats and vomiting, Lex’s parents again took him to the ER, where he was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic...
Samantha
Two years prior to being diagnosed with cancer herself, Samantha had discovered a lump on the family dog which turned out to be Lymphoma. When Samantha found a lump in her own armpit and neck just before her 16th birthday, she was immediately concerned. Despite having no other symptoms, Samantha was quickly diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma. Samantha’s mother refers to her as “a trooper”. While she is sad to be missing school with her friends, Samantha is willing to do everything she can in...
Kayla
Kayla was a normal nine-year-old who enjoyed dancing and playing sports before she was diagnosed with Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) in November 2018. MDS is a rare group of bone marrow failure disorders—and a type of blood cancer—in which the body no longer makes enough healthy, normal blood cells in the bone marrow. Early on, there are typically no symptoms. Later symptoms may include fatigue, shortness of breath, easy bleeding or frequent infections. It is rare enough on its own, but even...
Samson
Samson was your typical, curious, wild and crazy four-year-old who loved all things Marvel, Hotwheels, space, geography, weather and anatomy. His parents became concerned when they noticed he was looking pale and acting lethargic—an unusual behavior for the normally active Samson. They took him to his primary doctor and blood work results showed that Samson was anemic. Samson’s parents then took him to the Emergency Room, where they later learned that their son had B-Cell Acute Lymphocytic...
Lillian
Lillian was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia early May 2018, mere weeks after celebrating her first birthday. For the next eight months, Lillian underwent four rounds of chemotherapy. During the third round, Lillian’s heart stopped and she was rushed to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. She was in the PICU for four days before her high fever finally broke. Lilly continued to fight cancer and, that October, she was released from the hospital in full remission. Her family was so happy to...
Ethan
In July 2019, seven-year-old Ethan went in for what everyone thought would be a minor surgery. His parents never expected to learn that their son had cancer. During the surgery, it was discovered that Ethan had diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, a non-Hodgkin lymphoma. During his initial surgery, the doctors removed the primary tumor. Ethan’s post-surgery scans were clear, which is typically good news; however, they did find cancer cells in the fluid surrounding the tumor. Because of this, and the...
