GAGE<br />
Age 4 | Retinoblastoma<br />
<strong>Little</strong> <strong>Warrior</strong> Gage was diagnosed with Retinoblastoma at just<br />
2.5 years old. He had a grade E tumor with hundreds of seeds in<br />
his right eye.<br />
Due to the size of his tumor, over 75% of his eye and complete<br />
loss of vision, his right eye was enucleated. In the last year he has<br />
been put under anesthesia over 20 times for surgery and exams,<br />
even though this is very risky for him because of his malignant<br />
hyperthermia, which means he’s allergic to anesthesia.<br />
However, nothing can slow him down. He is currently cancer free<br />
and loving life with his 2 brothers and sister and his dog.
