Brendan Strong

Three days after school started, Brendan was complaining he couldn't breathe and developed a cough. I took him to get a chest x-ray and that's when this nightmare began. Brendan had a mass in his chest and fluid around his heart. He was immediately admitted to Baystate Children's Hospital where we met his amazing doctors and they started treating him right away. He was diagnosed with lymphoblastic lymphoma/luekemia.  Brendan has had numerous procedures including spinal taps, bone marrow samples taken, blood transfusions and platlets as well as a port that he receives his chemo treatments. Brendan will be receiving treatments for another 2-3 years. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your words of strength and encouragement during this difficult time for him. We love you all ❤
