Caden was diagnosed with leukemia at
age 2, in August of 2010. It was a total shock as he only had a few
vague symptoms prior, nothing that would have made us think cancer.
Caden began treatment right away, he gained 1/3 of his body weight due
to high dose steroids, he has had more transfusions than I care too
recall, an opportunistic infection that resulted in a month in the
hospital and nearly three weeks of him not eating a single bite of food.
Caden is currently still in treatment, it takes 3.5 years of chemo to
treat boys with ALL (the kind of leukemia he has) he's already
experienced side effects and he's not even done yet. He has neuropathy
in his legs and feet, he has developed SVT, where his heart beats out of
control (up to 255 beats a minute!) we don't know what the future
holds, but we are excited that he has a chance. We call him Caden
Monster for a reason...NOTHING can hold this little guy down! Not even
Leukemia!!
