Aidan’s personality is amazing, he is so funny, out going, smart, creative. He loves to make others laugh. He loves swimming and the beach. Disney world. Some of his favorite things are his dinosaurs and trains.
On September 15, 2017 I decided to take Aidan to the emergency room on a hunch something was wrong. He had been feeling sick the week before and had a limp, although that went away, the sick feelings never did. He was not himself at all. He was actually telling me he was tired and wanted to sleep. If anyone knows Aidan, he doesn’t sleep! Lol so that was alarming. Fast forward 3 days and demanding we figure out why he wasn’t eating they did a stomach ultra sound and a parents worst nightmare came true, it was cancer.
We have completed 5 rounds of chemotherapy – 4 rounds of chemotherapy mixed with immunotherapy and one major tumor resection surgery. Aidan’s cancer still wasn’t clearing so we decided to transfer care to Sloan Memorial in New York City. Here we have completed 6 rounds out 7 Immunotherapy treatments and completed 14 sessions of radiation.
We have since changed hospitals once again due to a potential relapse and we travel to Michigan. We found out in February that in fact was not relapse and he is currently on DMFO for 2 years, along with a chemo pill.
Cancer has made us appreciate more and make more memories but we also have to work harder as a family.
