We found out Colton had a hepatoblastoma just before Christmas 2009 when he was 15 months old. It's stage 4 liver cancer because it had already spread to his lungs.
What a year this past year has been. Colton had a liver resection performed in June of 2010. Since that time his liver has regenerated and shows no sign of the cancer in the liver. He had a total of 5 tumors in his lungs and as of January 2011, 4 of them had begun to calcify and the 5th shrank. We just recived great news in March. His counts are normal and we have a CT scan scheduled for later this month and hope to see the 5th tumor has begun to calcify. Colton is the definition of courage and hope to us.
March 2012
Colton is in REMISSION!!! He has beat a very rare and life threatening form of cancer and is now in remission for almost a year! It was a hard road and doctors did not expect him to live to see his 3rd birthday... Well he did and he spent his third birthday in Disney World on his Make-A-Wish trip! It was amazing to see him healthy enough to be out in public and enjoying himself! He's now doing amazing with a full head of hair and eyelashes. He has an amazing personality and very lively 3 1/2 year old typical little boy. We are truely blessed and he is a mirical that is destined for great things one day.
