Trenton is currently a very sweet 2-year old little boy (the big 2 was on March 13th, 2006 to be exact). Trenton has had lots of family and friends praying for him and loving him for over a year now. Trenton was diagnosed on March 18, 2005, (5 days after his 1-year birthday) with High Risk, Stage IV Neuroblastoma, N-MYC Amplified Cancer. Neuroblastoma, a rare cancer found mostly in children under 10, is a form of cancer that occurs in infants and children but is rarely found in children older than 10 years. Neuroblastoma is by far the most common cancer in infants and the third most common type of cancer in children. There are approximately 650 new case of neuroblastoma each year. Since Trenton's diagnosis, he has had 5 rounds of chemotherapy. After the third round of Chemo, Trenton's tumors disappeared miraculously; therefore he did not have to endure surgery to have the masses removed. We believe that this truly was a miracle from God. Trenton's Bone Marrow became free of cancer at that point and we were advised by ALL oncology doctors to move forward with the total protocol, as this cancer has a 70% chance of relapse. Therefore, we journeyed on. Following chemo, we harvested his own cells to save for TWO contiguous Bone Marrow Transplants that would be forthcoming in the fall of 2005.

Between Chemo and harvesting, Trenton had many viruses encounter his body with low blood counts and was in the hospital over a period of 5 months through spring and summer, and then at home. Finally, his body recovered enough to conquer on, to begin bone marrow transplant #1 in August 2005. Trenton endured the first one, with the hardest battle and toughest fight. There were 5 grueling days that we thought we would lose Trenton, as he struggled to breathe and bring his fight up to fighting order. He made, with prayers of faith, love and hope. Came home, had pictures made for Christmas cards, loved his brother lots and journeyed on to be readmitted for #2 BMT at Egleston Children's Healthcare under the best care once again. In addition to the other long weeks and months of hospital stay, these 2 transplants added an additional 2 months total. As he was in the hospital for 30 days for EACH bone marrow transplant, completing them both on October 27th, 2005.

Trenton rested and recuperated once again at home for about a month and then started radiation December 5th through December 22nd for 14 days, every day and he was our hero all the way through (again, under the best care)! Put to sleep during every single procedure, not to mention the 17 different surgeries for placement of infected central lines and pic lines – All the doctors and nurses blessed us with such love and support we can't name one nurse or doctor specifically as we LOVE so many of them and will always keep them close in our heart. The doctors at Scottish, Aflac Clinic, Egleston BMT floor, Egleston Clinic, and Emory Radiation.

Trenton's final protocol was Oral Chemo which he began on July 10th, 2006. The oral chemo required 14 days on and 14 days off, twice a day for 6 months. We just completed the end of everything June 11th. Trenton has thus far been N.E.D (no evidence of disease). We just want to thank everyone for the support we have had this past year and a half, it's amazing to me how much in this world is still left in all of mankind, when you pull together all the love for child with cancer. Just think of all the love we can pull together with the many children with cancer – that is what our family has learned – we will support and fight and speak the word of faith, love and hope and the journey we can end with children with cancer, if WE ALL put together.
