Ryans Story

Ryan has PNET Primitive Neuro Ectodermal Tumor which
is in the Ewings Sarcoma family of tumors.    Ryan has had
cancer 3 times.  He was initially diagnosed in 1995 with ALL
(Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia) at the age of 3 1/2.  
In August of 2003, Ryan had the PNET reoccur
in his right lung.  We have been doing
chemotherapy for 4 months.  Our plan is to do
chemotherapy and possible radiation and then,
hopefully, surgery.  Once the tumors are gone we
may do a stem cell transplant.  


Ryan's Story
We were almost at our 5 year mark and
he was diagnosed with PNET of the chest
wall in 1999 at the age of 8.  We
completed 14 months of Radiation, chemo
and surgery and the cancer was gone.
