When Marco was 2 years old he was
diagnosed with Retinoblastoma in one eye. Retinoblastoma is an
aggressive, malignant tumor on the retina. He had multiple surgeries,
laser therapies and radiation to save the eye. At age 4 his eye was
removed. Six months after his eye was removed the cancer returned, this
time in his leg. He went through 6 high dose chemotherapy treatments,
radiation and a grueling Stem Cell Transplant. Today Marco is 8 years
old and cancer free! He enjoys swimming, hanging out with his friends
and being a great big brother to his sister Alexa. Hope session by Ute-Christin Cowan. Marco's caringbridge page: http://
