I hope everyone is starting to feel better over there. Thanks for the laugh with that song. Sending Smiles, Angel Laura; February 15, 2009 at 11:18 AM

Diagnosis and treatment

Scott was diagnosed with T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (T-cell A.L.L.) on 01/25/07. T-cell is an aggressive leukemia and Scott is considered a 'high risk' case. His white blood count at diagnosis was 89,000, he had a mediastinal mass and had also developed sudden and severe petechiae due to lack of platelets. There was no CNS involvement.

His chemotherapy treatment began on 1/26/07 and is a 108-week-long protocol of high dose chemotherapy, steroids and cranial radiation.

Scott is treated by Doctor Tebbi at St Joseph's Childrens Hospital in Tampa.
