JAYDEN<br />
Age 4 | Retinoblastoma<br />
<strong>Little</strong> <strong>Warrior</strong> Jayden was diagnosed with Retinoblastoma, a rare<br />
eye cancer, at just 15 months old. He went through 6 rounds<br />
of chemotherapy, had his right eye removed and is rocking his<br />
prosthetic eye or as his family calls it, his “special eye”. He wears<br />
glasses to protect his good eye.<br />
He has been stable for 33 months and goes under anesthesia for<br />
eye exams and scans every 6 months to make sure the cancer<br />
is still gone. He has been brave through it all and continues to<br />
amaze those around him!<br />
Jayden loves to ride his bike, go hiking, play cars and do Legos. He<br />
also loves to do art projects and explore.<br />
In this photo, Jayden is wearing his shirt at the ocularist (eye<br />
maker) and is waiting for them to finish cleaning and polishing<br />
it. Jayden’s mom shares, “I think he is so brave and tough in this<br />
photo. He is beautiful with or without two eyes.”
