From the World of Children's Cancer...
In reality children's cancer is much more than smiling faces and bald heads.
In reality children's cancer is much more than smiling faces and bald heads.
:Liam was diagnosed in October 2013, he was only 13 months old, with Rhabdomyosarcoma. He went through a year of intense chemo, months of radiation, and multiple surgeries. Finally began remission in September 2014. Unfortunately, that only lasted a short 2 1/2 months. In that short period of time his tumor grew to the size of a golf ball. He went through an even more intense chemo treatment and Liam had his bladder, prostate, and tumor removed on April 7th 2015. He finished chemo September 14th 2015. Liam went in for his one-year scans and once again the tumor is back. This will be his third battle, at the age of 4, with this awful cancer. He just had the tumor removed again, in October he begins 3 months of chemo, some radiation, followed by a bone marrow transplant. His family is going to also try some different medical approaches this time around. They will be intergrading alternative and natural medicines along with conventional therapies. The clinic that offers the more holistic approach does not take any medical insurance. Changing lifestyle habits for Liam is completely necessary at this time. His body needs to stay strong and as healthy as it can be kept.. It is already so damaged from.the past years of treatments. The hope is that his quality of life can support his quantity of life.
