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.

3 Years Ago
It has been a while since I last updated and everything is going well at the Shannon household. Three years ago from Saturday is when Nick was diagnosed. We will remember this day forever. We are blessed to have treatment finished and no major side effects has come through treatment. It can always change on us, but we are enjoying our one day at a time. I am not sure how much longer I will continue to blog. The purpose of it over the years was to keep family and friends up to date with Nick's progress. I feel we have been very open with our family stories and it's time to focus on the kids and their personal lives. The people who know us, will understand our lives and know how happy we are now. Thank you for reading, Karen
