Fight For Rowan

Hey everyone,

This is Rowan’s new gofundme. If you’re new Welcome this is Rowan’s story:

Rowan is your typical headstrong 3 year old boy but his life is far from typical. On December 11th 2020 at the age of 2 and a half Rowan was diagnosed with High Risk Neuroblastoma when an MRI discovered a 7.5cm tumor on his adrenal gland. Neuroblastoma a tumor that you are born with usually on your adrenal gland. In his short 2.5 years his tumor had metastasized to his bone marrow, the largest concentration being in his hips and femurs. Since his diagnosis Rowan has had: 5 rounds of chemo, a high dose radiation treatment called MIBG, these treatments shrank his tumor to under 3 cm, because of this May 7th, 2021 his tumor was successfully removed. After that we spent nearly 3 months of this summer at Boston Children’s Hospital for the grueling process of Stem Cell transplant. Rowan was admitted for almost 4 extra weeks do to a complication called VOD. He is home and on the mend now, however, he still has an NG tube and is unable to walk unassisted. In the coming months Rowan will have 10 to 15 rounds of radiation, followed by immunotherapy. We are hoping that his treatment will only be about 6 more months. Due to the amount of appointments, hospital stays, and extra care I quit my job to be his primary caregiver. While we do have extra help it’s not enough to replace my income. We are also fearful of a day that a treatment may not be covered. So we have this page to help with day to day expenses and to cover costs that insurance won’t. Please give if you can, nothing is ever expected David and I are just grateful that you all have chosen to be on this journey with us. Also I promise that We will do better with updates this time!

Love y’all
