Jake Raborn

There are many kids who's cancer story I follow. Jake Raborn is one of them. He is such a cutie but of course his life has been changed from a normal little boys life to a life of cancer. He is having a really hard time right now but he is fighting for his life and has not given up.

Here is a little info on him from his website which you can view through the link above.

Jake was diagnosed June 1, 2004 with Hepatoblastoma(Liver Cancer) - Stage IV. Jake has received 14 rounds of chemotherapy treatments and survived 3 major surgeries in 35 days. In early September 2005 a tumor was found in Jake's right lung. On September 9th he had his 4th surgery to remove the tumor. In late September another tumor was found in his left lung. The decision was made to start his 15th round of chemo. He is truly a miracle and we thank you for stopping by his page to check on him. Jake just finished round #19 of chemo. His scans show no visible tumors but his tumor marker(AFP) is still elevated. In February 2006, Jake will receive a Bone Marrow Transplant as a form of therapy to fight his disease. Jake will be the 2nd person in the world to receive this type of transplant for his type of disease.
