ASHER<br />
Age 3 | Retinoblastoma<br />
When <strong>Little</strong> <strong>Warrior</strong> Asher was just four months old, his mom<br />
noticed the indicative Retinoblastoma “glow” in his right eye while<br />
taking a photo with a flash on her phone. Being a Registered<br />
Nurse herself, she knew right away that it was cancer.<br />
Asher is now two years old and has been bravely fighting<br />
Retinoblastoma ever since. Last year he completed 6 months of<br />
chemotherapy and was put under anesthesia 25 times for eye<br />
exams with laser therapy.<br />
Most recently, Asher’s scans have come back showing active<br />
growth. However, his parents are relieved and thankful that with<br />
laser treatments, they are keeping these recurrences at bay. As his<br />
mom writes, “Asher’s case of Retinoblastoma has been a stubborn<br />
little beast, but we are still confident that Asher will take this<br />
beast down!”<br />
Asher is fighting and happy! He loves cookies, trains, his big sisters,<br />
hopping on people’s back’s and yelling “Go!” and trying to ride his<br />
cats.
