Most of you know Liam's story, but for those who don't here we go. At months old Liam was diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma Bone Cancer, which is one of the rarest forms of bone cancer, especially for his age. He went through 22 rounds of chemo which took 11 months. Liam was cleared and Cancer free as of February 2017. We followed up with his oncologist for a 3 month appointment which consisted of an MRI and CT scan that he needed to be sedated for. The scans came back showing a few small spots in his lung and an area in his left arm measuring 1.79cm in length and .79cm in width, which you can imagine is large for a 22 month olds arm. We then had a PET scan done to determine if the spots in his lung were cancerous or not, they decided the spots were too small to tell anything right now. Today on June 13th 2017, he is having a biopsy done on his arm to determine if it is a tumor or something like a lymph node. At the end of Liam's last chemo cycle we met with the oncologist and she told us, if Liam's cancer comes back, it will likely be more aggressive, and he may not react to the chemo and it could do more harm than good. So we as mom and dad are in a rough spot. If this is cancer, we have discussed taking Liam to a couple of different children's hospitals around the US, inclundimg Houston, Cincinnati, and Philadelphia. These places specialize not only in his cancer, but with patients that have relapsed with his cancer. We are looking at facing a huge financial burden if we decide to do this. We will have to move to whatever city that has the hospital of our choosing, and, Liam will no longer have medical insurance. We thank you all so mich for your love and prayers!! Please continue to keep our family in your prayers as we continue on this very scary journey. #teamliam
