First diagnosed on July 6th 2014 with burkitts leukemia, the battle we thought was won after 8 intense months in Vancouver bc at children's hospital.

Life was starting to return to "normal" and samantha (now 5) was due for her 3 month follow up, and an award ceremony for being 3 months off treatment.

Sadly instead of her award we were told that her followup blood work showed blast cells, after just 3 months of being in remission; Samantha has relapsed. One of the hardest things to be told is that your child has cancer , one of the worst things to be told is that the cancer is back and the prognosis isn't very good.

Samantha will need to undergo even more intense therapy treatments in the hopes of reaching remission, then she will need a Bone Marrow Transplant (She needs a Match).

We thought the battle was won and we could finally take life at a normal pace, but now we are faced with overwhelming odds and the Fight of Samantha's Life!

In a matter of a single day (may 13th 2015) our whole world was shattered and we are now forced to rehome our pets and essentially move back to BC children's. A life we tried to get back to is now on pause once again, having to leave behind jobs, and our lives; we can only hope to survive this New Nightmare as a family.

Samantha under went a Bone Marrow Tranplant on September 17th 2015 after we found the Perfect match! She was able to return home in time for christmas and life was returning to Normal.

March 04 2016 just 1 day after sams 6th birthday we found out sam had relapsed, she was 95% cancer in her Marrow. with no Viable options she was given a week to Live. we made our way to Canuck place childrens Hospice. 

April 08 2016 exactly 5 Weeks later samantha continued to prove the drs wrong, her body is in fact getting stronger as her Donor cells have now decided to Fight her Cancer, but it cannot do it alone. We now have a New therapy option that could very well put sam back into Remission. It is new, there is no long term data, we dont know if it will work, we dont know how long she will have.  but we do know at the very least that Samantha will get a minimum of a few more happy healthy months.  This probably isnt the cure, but samantha is a True fighter and its clear she is a Super Hero!

We will return to Ronald Mcdonald house so sam can start this new therapy Drug,  our finacial costs will now go up even higher and we are not sure how we will be able to do this.
