Shane’s Story

Shane

At almost 5 years of age, Shane was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL).  After one month of the treatment he was in early remission, meaning that there were no cancer cells in his blood. 

Shane’s family was very pleased with the early results of his 130 week protocol but on July 6th, 2006 after completing 108 weeks of treatment, he relapsed. 

It was a shock to everyone, including his doctors.  Shane may yet have to undergo a bone marrow transplant but fortunately his brother, Jacob, is a match. 

Presently there is no sign of cancer in Shane’s system since relapsing.
