Hi all - this is Aunt Amy. Nick is having a much better week, than last week. I think the blood transfusion has really helped him feel better and the fact that this is a no chemo week. Nick visited yesterday with Joey and spent all morning playing around the house. They really enjoyed themselves, and Nick got out of his house for the day.
At the end of April, the Shannon's and extended family will be attending the Tomorrow Fund Stroll to help raise money for the fund, which provides financial and emotional support to children with cancer and thier families who are treated at Hasbro Hospital. We are ordering T-shirts and looking forward to all spending the day together. Anyone interested in learning more about the tomorrow fund, you can go to www.tomorrowfund.org. Nick has reached the half-way stage for the shots - yippie! hopefully the weather continues to get nicer and Nick can enjoy some more time out of the house. Aunt Amy
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.
