Help Landen Beat CANCER! All Donations Go To Landens Care!

In November 2022, Landen Jaggie broke his arm playing dodgeball with some friends when he was 16 years old. He then had surgery which included a biopsy and was diagnosed with osteosarcoma. He quickly started on MAPS chemotherapy. He had 8 rounds and a Total Reverse shoulder Arthroplasty and Humerus replacement. In July 2023, he completed chemo and rang the ‘end of treatment bell’. He was happy to move on and get back to being a teenager. In November 2023, he had his 3-month PET SCAN and a spot on his rib became concerning to the Oncologists. A biopsy was done on his rib and sure enough He was diagnosed with Metastatic Osteosarcoma. On 1-11-2024, Landen started chemo again, IE CHEMO. The cancer also metastasized to both lungs and has some other spots on bones. He went through 8 rounds of IE chemo, surgery to remove his rib, and a Thoracotomy on left lung. When trying to stop the IE chemo a tumor on his manubrium, pelvis and right femur lit up on his PET SCAN and drastically grew in size (doubled size in 1 month) We took Landen to Johns Hopkins to see his original orthopedic surgeon and a new oncologist….He was immediately started back on IE, had 2 rounds, then two massive surgeries a week apart from each other. First a Right Hemi-Pelvectomy where they removed 1/3rd of his pelvis and six days later he went back under the knife and had Hip Replacement. His team of Doctors have removed 12 inches of his right femur with a rod replacement. They removed the tumors in right hip/iliac wing and right femur. He started back on chemo and 18 sessions of radiation on the tumor In his upper sternum. Landen just finished radiation and is still recovery from the major surgeries in his hip and leg. He will be getting physical therapy to help. Now that radiation is complete he is being started on a different chemotherapy that he will hopefully be able to tolerate better and not need these long hospital stays. After spending months at Johns Hopkins for recent surgeries chemo and radiation Landen is looking forward to having more time at home.

The financial support will help Landen and his family tremendously. Any financial support goes straight to Landen's Care. We have been fighting very hard for almost 3 years now and the medical bills quickly got out of control. It will also help with the many future appointments and the travel and lodging. Landens mother always stays with him in the hospital, and she has missed alot of work. She is now in Leave Without Pay status, which drops Landens family down to one income. They will also still have a lot of traveling back and forth to John's Hopkins for weekly chemo infusions.

Thank you all so much for all your prayers and support! Landen will WIN THIS BATTLE!

Our son is alive today because of every single person that donated to him and all the overwhelming support from YOU!!
