Meet Oakley
Meet Oakley, a 3 year old B-Cell ALL warrior. “She seemed so healthy and got sick so incredibly fast.” Oakley’s journey started when her eyes would swell and develop a fever. After being mis-diagnosed several times, her pediatrician ordered blood work and sent her to the emergency room for suspected leukemia. The emergency room whisked her away to the oncology floor almost as soon as she arrived and since then, she’s been receiving chemotherapy and blinatumomab.

The MRI revealed a large mass on his spine that was compressing his spinal cord. He immediately had surgery to remove the mass and had further testing to see if there were any more tumors. Since then, he’s undergone six rounds of chemotherapy, surgery, bone marrow transplants and radiation.
