LIAM<br />
Age 3 | Bilateral Retinoblastoma<br />
<strong>Little</strong> Warior Liam was diagnosed with Stage IV High Risk<br />
Neuroblastoma when he was 21 months old. Following diagnosis,<br />
he spent 8 months in and out of the hospital doing 5 rounds of<br />
chemotherapy, surgery, stem cell transplant, radiation, and one<br />
round of immunotherapy.<br />
In January of 2016, Liam and his family received wonderful news<br />
that he was declared NED. However, shortly after that summer,<br />
Liam relapsed. MRIs showed the tumors were back. This time in the<br />
base of his brain, right ear, and left ear. Neuroblastoma is incredibly<br />
hard to beat when it’s throughout the body. And, once it goes to<br />
the central nervous system it’s nearly impossible to beat. Liam<br />
passed away on October 8, 2016.<br />
Liam amazed all that followed his story. He had a contagious smile<br />
and handled all the tough treatments better than anyone could<br />
imagine. As Liam’s mom writes, “Liam is our light and was a light to<br />
so many and always let his light shine.”
