My Story

. At the beginning of July his parents noticed he had a small bruise under his eye. Because he's a baby, and just learning to move, they assumed he had hurt himself with a toy! Later in the month, the black eye had grown, and his other eye began to show same bruises! He then started having lumps on his forehead and temple. His parents were getting more and more worried. July 22 he began to vomit. They rushed to the dr, then were sent to the ER, and there received an MRI showing that Boston had tumors in his body, and the lumps on his head were tumors, causing the blood flow to pool by his eyes. He was transferred to CHLA where he was further diagnosed with Neuroblastoma cancer. They found tumors on his stomach, throat, and head. The most concerning being the head where the tumors were rapidly growing towards his brain. Boston had his first three-day chemo treatment July 27th.
