Here's our story: Gio is a fun, energetic, and loving four year-old boy who has the ability to light up a room! On June 24th, we noticed he had a bump over his eye and took him to see the doctor. His pediatrician said that it was a cyst and he sent us to follow-up with a neurosurgeon. That same night, Gio bumped heads with his little brother and wouldn't stop crying.  We took him to the Emergency Room where they told us it looked like a bruise but they would scan it to be sure. That is the night our lives would change forever. 
Before we knew it, the scans were coming back and the doctors were concerned with what they saw. The neurosurgeon came to the hospital to see Gio and completed a biopsy of the area. Then they sent us home.  A day later, the hospital called us with news that we will never forget: "We need you to bring Giovanni back right away, as the results came back with Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma." We returned to the hospital to get another biopsy.  On August 10th, we were told that our perfect, healthy, happy, and energetic four year-old had Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma, and he would need to begin chemotherapy as soon as possible because of the aggressive nature of this cancer.
Gio has now six chemotherapy treatments, and he is still the same happy, energetic, and playful boy.  He is my hero and I thank God everyday for making this difficult journey just a little less difficult because of Gio's amazing spirit!
