ETHAN<br />

Age 7 | Rhabdomyosarcoma<br />

Little Warrior Ethan was diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma at<br />

the age of six. He immediately started chemotherapy three times<br />

a week and daily radiation therapy for one year. He has lost total<br />

vision of his right eye and has had three eye surgeries to try<br />

and fix his vision, with no luck. It wasn’t until the 8th month of<br />

radiation therapy that his vision started to slowly come back. He<br />

now uses eyeglasses to help his vision improve.<br />

Ethan has had numerous procedures and complications and<br />

more hospital stays that one can imagine. Although he is still<br />

encountering side effects from the chemo and radiation, he is<br />

currently going on his second month in remisión and hoping to<br />

stay healthy!<br />

Ethan has returned to school and loves it! He loves to make<br />

friends and helping others as much as possible.
