LANDEN<br />

Age | Pre B Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia<br />

In August 2016 Little Warrior Landen went to the local<br />

emergency room for what the doctor’s were convinced was a<br />

case of appendicitis. After being transferred to Doernbecher’s<br />

Children’s hospital, Landen was diagnosed with Pre B Cell Acute<br />

Lymphoblastic Leukemia and began treatment immediately.<br />

Within the first few weeks of treatment Landen suffered<br />

compression fractures to the L1-L3 vertebrae of his spine and<br />

was put in a full back brace that he will continue to wear until<br />

spring 2017. Landen reached remission after 6 weeks of treatment<br />

and continues to fight every single day!
