Alexander was diagnosed with infant acute lymphoblastic leukemia when he was 10 months old. He immediately began chemotherapy and was in the hospital for nearly a full year due to complications with treatment. He lost a lot of weight and was fed directly through a feeding tube. At one point his 5 month old sister was bigger than he was because of his weightless.
During the second year of treatment Alexander was doing much better and able to go home for several weeks at a time.
We are proud to report that last November Alexander finished treatment and is cancer free!!!! He returns to Valley Children’s for his check ups and physical therapy. At age 3 Alexander learned to walk and is gaining strength each day! His family is so thankful to finally have their son back and healthy!
Please join us in cheering on Alexander and his family!
