TYLER<br />
Age 6 | Stage IV Neuroblastoma<br />
Little Warrior Tyler was diagnosed with Stage IV Neuroblastoma<br />
in August of 2015, at the age of five. His only symptoms were loss<br />
of appetite and stomach pains for two weeks, which eventually<br />
led to an ER visit because the pain was too great to sleep.<br />
Ultrasounds were conducted and showed a 13cm tumor in his<br />
abdomen. Further scans also showed a 6cm tumor in his chest.<br />
Tyler’s treatments took place at Kaiser Santa Clara in California,<br />
while his surgeries were at Memorial Sloan Kettering in New York<br />
City. Three surgeries, eight rounds of chemo, twelve sessions of<br />
radiation, five rounds of immunotherapy and 15 months later,<br />
Tyler is in remission!<br />
Since 50% of Neuroblastoma kids relapse the first year, Tyler will<br />
move on to a clinical trial of Neuroblastoma vaccine at Memorial<br />
Sloan Kettering to try to keep the monster away.
