My Story

Isaac was just two weeks past his 5th birthday when he was diagnosed with bilateral Wim’s tumor in November 2019. He had over 17 masses throughout his abdomen. He completed 12 rounds of chemotherapy before he had surgery to remove remaining masses and pieces of both kidneys. After surgery he had 10 days of total abdomen radiation followed by another 24 weeks of chemotherapy. Just 3 months after finishing treatment and ringing the bell in June 2020, he relapsed with another mass on his vena cava. He again underwent surgery, radiation, stem cell harvest, and aggressive inpatient chemotherapy. After completing this regimen, he was declared cancer free again. But alas, after another 16 months in October of 2022, the cancer returned again. Isaac had his spleen removed and underwent high dose chemotherapy to have a stem cell transplant. He spent over 30 days inpatient, 100 days isolated, and again, was declared no evidence of disease. Isaac has successfully continued to remain no evidence of disease, and we are hopeful this will continue and the cancer is gone. He continues to be monitored with scans every 3 months. Thank you for supporting me and the more than 300,000 kids worldwide who will be diagnosed with cancer this year.
