Oscar Hasham

Oscar Hasham is a special and beautiful 8 year old boy who loves life in Williamsburg, Virginia. Oscar enjoys legos, Fortnite, and playing with his friends.  In October 2018, Oscar complained of leg pain. Doctors initially attributed Oscar's discomfort to muscular or growing pain, and as the weeks progressed and up to New Year's Day, Oscar saw several doctors and all tests came back normal.  Despite the normal results, Oscar's pain continued and worsened, so he was referred for an MRI the day after New Years at CHKD in Norfolk, Virginia. The MRI results revealed a parent's worst nightmare, an aggressive spinal tumor that required immediate surgical intervention and biopsy. The surgery was performed on 1/8/19 and took approximately 7 hours. However, the surgeons were only able to remove ~20% of the tumor due to its invasive and aggressive nature. The biopsy results and diagnosis were reviewed with the Hasham family on 1/18/19 at CHKD, and Oscar is now home with his family in Williamsburg. The family consulted with Oscar's physicians on 1/29/19 to determine the most effective course of treatment going forward and Oscar will receive proton therapy from 2/19/19-4/15/19.  We will continue to keep everyone updated while respecting the family's privacy. Oscar is very strong and continues to fight, but his parents Omar and Kasia Hasham and Oscar's older brother Liam need everyone's continued love and support. Williamsburg Family Dentistry has established this gofundme to help the Hasham family through this difficult time, and allow the family to spend as much quality time as possible with Oscar. Please graciously support them in any way you can and share their story with all of your friends. #oscarstrong
