My Story

UNSTOPPABLE is the best way to describe Angel!! Since being diagnosed with Pre B Cell ALL in Feb of 2010 Angel has been nothing but amazing, strong, independent and loving. He listens to his dad and i talk to the doctors and understands all of what his little body has endured, why and what will happen in the future. He still wants to live his life to the fullest and consistently asks doctors for permission to play all the sports he loves. There are times when some of the medicine's get him a bit lethargic but he still goes on until he can't stay awake any longer. On several occasions Angel was hospitalized and still he made light of his situation. The nurse's and doctors were amazed by his attitude and determination. We, as his family, let him continue to listen to his body and understand that he knows how much he is able to endure. Since day 1 Angel has never questioned why this happened to him and has never expected favoritism because of his illness. He only knows that we are all fighters and there is not an option to fighting and BEATING cancer. Angel has definitely given us all a different perspective on life and just looking at him we know that all things are possible.
