Andrew Roll

Welcome to our Child Web Page. It has been provided to keep friends & family updated about our Child.Andrew was dianosed with Neuroblastoma Stage IV on March 28, 2000. He went thru many rounds of Chemo.On August 2,2000 went thru 10 hrs of surgery to remove the mass in his belly the size of a grapefruit.It was necessary to remove a adrenal gland.Then we were headed to Rochester Strong Mem. For a bone marrow transplant.Which went well.We were home in 3 weeks.All roads are rough no matter what!He had No Evidiance of Disease for 18 months and relasped in April of 2002.Which this time decided to go thru Roswell for treatments. Because Andrew was old enough now. And started Chemo treatments, Which he responded very well, after first two rounds.His last round of Chemo was Feb 2003.And in March 2003 he is in the care of Dr Kramer at Sloan Kettering in Ny.Where he is going thru 3F8 Monocional Antibody Therapy.January 2004 Andrew has relasped again.They found a pea size nodule in the left ear or behind which is causing the Bells Palsy.So we are back at Roswell for more Chemo.As of Nov.2005 Andrew had 24 rounds of chemo.We decided to stop chemo & enjoy life.Then he had scans showing positive for neuroblastoma cells. So we are on the road to chemotherapy once again.Two chemos which he has never had. The tumor grew thru the chemo. So we were in quality of life mode. The hardest part of life ever for anyone to ever endure. I HAVE FOUGHT THE FIGHT, I HAVE FINISHED THE RACE, I HAVE KEPT THE FAITH! GOD! 5/17/06-6:55PM Andrews hero was God! He with his hero!!
