Donovan survives pediatric cancer- stage III neuroblastoma

The simple first sentence on Alicia Trentham's myspaceTM blog from September 24, 2008 offers no clue that the reader may need to have a box of tissues handy. As Alicia tells the story of her 2-year-old son's cancer diagnosis, treatment and eventual recovery, you feel the family's shock and devastation when an ordinary day suddenly becomes the day a parent most fears. It was during a routine evaluation of a heart murmur in Dayton Children's cardiology department in February 2008, that Alicia first heard her son had several tumors above his stomach. "I was confused and scared at the same time," Alicia remembers. "I thought he would just have surgery to take the tumors out and we would be done. Cancer never occurred to me." The Trenthams of Oregonia, Ohio were back at Dayton Children's the next day for scans to get a better look at the tumor. Donovan's sister Destiny even missed school to support her little brother. Donovan then received above and beyond care from Dayton Children's to cure his cancer.
