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.

Thanksgiving at HOME
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Nick made it home this morning and was happy to be there. The Shannon's spent their Thanksgiving as a family at home enjoying all the wonderful food from friends and family. Hopefully Nick will make it through the weekend at home fever free and having fun. He starts a very tough portion of this treatment process on monday that will last a few weeks. He will be in the outpatient clinic almost everyday and will receive some radiation as well. We all need to keep him in our thoughts and prayers as this stage will be the most challenging he has encountered yet. We hope you are enjoying your holiday as a family as well.
