Joe
Age 2
Diagnosis: choriod plexus carcinoma
Joe is 2 years old, he is a miracle baby. Diagnosed with a rare brain tumor and wasnt given a good survival rate. The drs havent seen his type of tumor in 20 years, given only a 23% chance to make it to 5 years old. After 3 brain surgeries and 7 months of chemo he beat the odds. He is now in remission and is the happiest, smartest, funniest little boy!
Guy
Age 2
Diagnosis: Osteosarcoma of the right humerus
Guy lost his dad to cancer when he was just 8 months old. Then, at the age of 5, he faced his own diagnosis. After complaining of a sore arm he was diagnosed with osteosarcoma. He went through just under a year of chemotherapy and more surgeries than we can keep count of. Through all of it, his crazy, silly, smart little self has stayed so positive! They were able to to use his own fibula as a bone graft to replace the upper humerus bone that was removed! Unfortunately with that, he's dealt with quite a few broken arms, but it hasn't slowed him down! He's excelling in school, LOVES to read and learn about Greek mythology. In the past year he's also gotten into musical theater and is crushing it! His voice and dance moves are second to none! He's a complete fish in the summer, swimming any chance he gets and is an avid Cornhole player. Luckily, he's very into video games and loves playing his switch. That came in super handy to pass the time in the hospital! We are very fortunate to live close to CHOP and to have such an amazing team! Keep an eye out for him on Broadway in a few years, this kid is going places!
