It’s been an entire decade since Kaden was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma. That’s amazing… 10 years since that terrible nightmare, called cancer entered our lives. Today, to look at him, you would never know. He’s a growing, thriving 13 yr old teenager with a bottomless pit stomach. We’re definitely feeling blessed!
He’s being followed up by Johns Hopkins Cardiology department. In August 2017, they said he was boarder-line long QT heart syndrome, then on his 6 month follow-up in February, the cardiologist said it has gone away, but he was now borderline high blood pressure. We’re blaming some of that on his “intense” Xbox gaming, plus his diet and not much exercise post-football season/pre-baseball.
We are forever thankful to still have him in our lives today given that he had a 40-60% chance of surviving past 5 yrs. He is a 10 year survivor, but we live with PTSD not knowing if every little ache, pain, bruise, swelling, etc is a sign of relapse.
He is a very thoughtful, warm-hearted and caring soul. He’s wise beyond his years. Here’s to 10 years as a survivor of Stage IV High-Risk Neuroblastoma cancer AND TO MANY MORE!
