Nick's cousin Joey spent yesterday playing with Nick in his hospital room. They watched Spongebob, played pirates and ran the hallways. As Nick said to Joey “I am stuck in the middle of nowhere is this big bed”. The Shannon family greatly appreciates the outpouring of thoughts and support they have received from family, friends and neighbors. Nicholas is a courageous 4 year old who will inspire all of us. Over the next two years as Nicholas receives treatment to beat this disease, the Shannon family will be incurring enormous medical bills through co-pays, ER visits and medication. If you are interested in making any monetary contribution or provide gift cards, please send to the following address:
Nicholas Shannon Leukemia Fund
P.O. Box 531
Bellingham, MA 02019
All checks should be made to ‘Nicholas Shannon Leukemia Fund’
Please continue to keep Nicholas in your thoughts and prayers. We love you Nick!
Nick is an amazing 6 year old fighting T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). He was diagnosed at 4 years old on Oct. 15, 2008 and here is the story of his courageous battle. This day changed our lives forever. Nick seemed very healthy at the time and the only signs we noticed were swollen lymph nodes on his neck. At first, we thought it could be a virus, but after 2 rounds of blood tests, the doctors confirmed our worst fear, cancer. This site is to show how strong our little boy is.
Update:
Nicholas finished treatment on 11/18/2010. He will continue to go for blood work for the next 3 years. He is still in remission.
