About Me

Bakersfield, CA, United States
Hans was a busy, happy, sweet and fearless three year old when he was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma. He fought his disease like a "gladiator" for nearly 6 years. Hans was an animal lover to his core. He was 'guarded' at home by his three cats, Black, Orange and Cotton. He also had his Golden Retriever, Honey, to keep him company. Hans enjoyed swimming, biking, gardening, grilling (he had his very own grill!), horseback riding, playing video games, building Legos, and flipping between Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network and Animal Planet. Hans loved all members of his family and he was a loyal friend. He had to go through a lot of treatment in his life. But Hans powered through it. His attitude was let's get this done! His motivation was always to get back home, to his family, pets, favorite foods and pool.

HANS TO START BMT ON THURSDAY

Just spoke with Lara and Hans' got his PIC Line this morning and everything went fine. He should probably just sleep his way through today.

Kev and Lara were also told that the doctors are ready to start Hans' bone marrow transplant this Thursday. It's nice to finally have a new start date. Hans will have four days of continuous chemo, then a few days break, before they are able to re-introduce the stem cells that were previously harvested from him. We're hoping for a 'short' hospital stay of 4 weeks or so if everything goes well.

Hans is going to have a rough time of it for a little while here, so be sure to keep him in your heart and prayers.
