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.

The Love Family - We all headed into papa's for the Annual South boston St. patrick's Day parade. Everyone had a great time. I never know if the adults or kids have more fun, but we all get to celebrate togther. Nick made it to the parade and seemed to enjoy watching it. Here is a picture of the Star Wars characters that march in the parade. The kids had fun collecting the 'beads' and candy that was tossed along the parade.
Tomorrow Nick will be going to clinic for another shot and blood counts. Nick is about half way through this phase of treatment which is getting very difficult. Nick is feeling the side affects of the shots and chemo but he is a trooper!!! Karen will update everyone this week on clinic. We thank everyone again for the meals and support they have provided to the Shannon's. Aunt Amy
