SPENCER<br />

Age 18 Months | Bilateral Retinoblastoma<br />

Little Warrior Spencer was diagnosed with Bilateral<br />

Retinoblastoma in November of 2015, at just six months old. He<br />

is currently 18 months old and travels from Kansas to Memorial<br />

Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City every four to six<br />

weeks for treatment.<br />

Spencer went through three rounds of intra-arterial<br />

chemotherapy and one round of laser. The tumor was declared<br />

calcified/dead. However, in May of 2016, two new tumors were<br />

discovered, this time in his left eye. Because of their size, laser<br />

treatment was done.<br />

Spencer is still fighting. He recently had growth on one of the<br />

tumors in his left eye, in which was followed by more laser work.<br />

However, at his last exam, the results showed no new growth!<br />
