Joey was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in October 2018. He had many ups and downs throughout the intensive treatment he received but overall achieved remission and was set to be done with treatment in March 2021. Two weeks before his last dose of chemo, we found out he relapsed in his spinal fluid – his central nervous system. While this was devastating news, we are thankful it was caught before it had spread to his bone marrow, which would have made his prognosis and treatment much worse. After a year of intensive chemo and cranial radiation, with a lot of hospital stays, Joey is back in remission and on maintenance chemo. He is set to be done in March 2023! While this isn’t the life we had hoped for him, Joey teaches us every day how to be stronger, how to love harder and how to live each day to the fullest.
