Christian was diagnosed with ALL in June 2007, at the age of 11, just as he finished elementary school. It turned out that he was very sensitive to the drugs given to him and he spent the entire summer in the hospital. It was difficult to accept that the drugs that would save his life could have such disastrous side effects. He started middle school attending classes part-time because he was so weak. He had a few more "bumps in the road" with his treatment, but finished chemotherapy in July 2010. He is still being carefully monitored by his medical team, and continues to be cancer-free. Christian is now 16 years old and is a junior in high school. He enjoys camping with his Boy Scout troop, snowboarding, and swimming. He has recently been certified to scuba. He enjoys computers and playing video games, learning Japanese, and is an avid reader.
