Asher loves anything related to music, singing, instruments, and listening to music. He likes chess and checkers and his favorite colors are red and green.
Asher was diagnosed in January of 2021 while we were living abroad in Paraguay. Within one week of diagnosis, we moved countries and left our life behind so we could start treatment. Before he was diagnosed, he started having tummy pain, leg pain, and odd fevers. We took him to his PCP to be seen and she found him a bit pale so asked us to go get a CBC done. We went straight to the ER. They put is inpatient immediately after the labs were back. We were told he had Leukemia three days later and were on a plane to start a new life here in the USA shortly after.
Asher has had intensive chemotherapy for the past five months and has to travel five hours to Memphis and back, every other week for treatment.
Cancer has totally changed everything for us, starting with the fact that we had to leave our life behind and start a new one while going through treatment. My son and I are both USA citizens, born here, and my husband is on a tourist VISA. Besides treatment and starting a new life, we also have to deal with the paperwork to be able to have my husband stay here with us.
Asher has had long hair since he was born and not even chemo took it away from him. He continues to have his long hair and it’s longer than ever.
