ELLIS<br />
Age 17 months | Bilateral Retinoblastoma<br />
<strong>Little</strong> <strong>Warrior</strong> Ellis was diagnosed with Bilateral Retinoblastoma<br />
in September 2015 when he was just 3.5 months old. After<br />
discovering a glow in Ellis’ eye, he was taken to an opthamologist<br />
and upon leaving the clinic, received the devestating call with his<br />
diagnosis and instructions to be at St. Jude on Sunday (just two<br />
days away) to beding treatment.<br />
Ellis completed 6 rounds of chemotherapy, laser therapy, countless<br />
EUA’s (exams under anesthesia) and, as of today, has had clear<br />
exams with no treatment needed for 20 weeks! He will continue<br />
to have exams every 5-6 weeks for a while and space them out as<br />
time goes on.<br />
Ellis has two older siblings, brother - Patton 6, and sister - Paige 5,<br />
who adore him and love him so, so much. As his mom shares, “He<br />
is such a strong boy, and amazes us every single day!”
