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.

Quick Good News Report!

Hans' MRI, CT, Bone Scan and MIBG have all come back clean/No Evidence of Disease! Whoo hoo! Yipee! Hallelujah! Now we have only to wait a couple of days to get today's Bone Marrow Aspiration results which are fully expected to be good. Today was miserable for Kevin and me, just because we worry so much about Hans's Hypoglycemia and he had to fast until about 1:30pm today! But, it was at least incident-free. Hans did very well yesterday and Carmen was sweet enough to accompany us for the day yesterday. Carlie's scans showed shrinkage! Please think of our little friend Ryan, "Batman". In some ways he is starting all over again as he fights this relapse!
Love, Lara
PS Thanks to all of you who have supported Hans' LFL Campaign - it's going quite well! Check it out at www.lunchforlife.org! Thanks.
