Thank you for supporting me and the more than 300,000 kids worldwide who will be diagnosed with cancer this year. By sharing the gifts of your time, talent and money with the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, you're supporting research to give all kids with cancer a better chance for a cure.
Trenton James is our baby and his Daddy's mini-me. He was one year old and has the heart the size of Texas. He was always laughing and smiling. It was amazing to see him interact with new things and grow.
On New Year's Day of 2013, we found a lump in the side of Trenton's neck. Even with the holiday, our concern prompted a call to our pediatrician who speculated a swollen lymph node and recommended followup the next day. That next morning, our doctor (Dr. Jay Schwartz) examined Trenton and felt a mass in his abdominal region. Dr. Schwartz stated that he believed it was cancer and sent us directly over to Children's Medical Center emergency room.
Trenton was diagnosed with Stage IV, high risk Neuroblastoma, amplified. Stage IV indicates that the disease has spread to multiple areas of the body including bones and bone marrow.
Unfortunately, Trenton passed away in early January of 2013.
