Patrick’s Story

Site created on September 18, 2020

On September 14, 2020 (just 11 days before his second birthday), our world was flipped upside down when our beautiful Patrick James was diagnosed with stage 4, high-risk Neuroblastoma. His course of treatment will be 18 months or longer, including chemotherapy, surgery, two stem cell transplants, radiation, and immunotherapy. We will use this site to update our family and friends as we travel the path to recovery. 


To date:
Diagnosed: 9/14/2020
Five rounds of chemo: September-December 2020
Two autologous stem cell transplants: 2/25/2021 and 4/23/2021
Twelve rounds of proton radiation: July 2021
Six rounds of immunotherapy: July 2021- January 2022

End of treatment: January 2022!
