Joshua Lee Young

Joshua has Neuroblastoma stageIV, since November 11, 2002, his little life has changed so much, he has been through eleven rounds of chemo, and four surgeries. He had his stem-cell transplant Nov 11,2003. He has been thru 3 cycles of the 3F8 antibodies, and had 28 days of radiation crammed into 14. Joshua is now 5 years old and so full of life. It's hard to believe there was once this terrible monster growing inside him. Please keep JOSHUA in your prayers that he beats this monster. We were told that Joshua had relapsed with disease in his marrow on the left posteria sample on April 30, 2004. Since then he has received 7 more days of radiation to the hip area and 6 more rounds of irinotecan and waiting on a miracle as he has been fighting low counts since the first round of radiation. October 25th Joshua had seven more days of radiation to two new spots found in scans done Oct 12th & 13th 2004. One on the left jaw and one on the base of the skull. December 6th, 2004, Joshua started CEP-701 at CHOP.  Joshua lost his battle with neuroblastoma but won the war of life flying into the arms of Jesus as the perfect Valentine February 14th, 2005
