Biography

Hi everyone this is Brody; well this is my mom writing and she is gonna tell you my story!  I am a very happy, outgoing all american boy!!  I love everything from football to baseball, hunting and especially fishing!!!!  I have not been sick at all just all of a sudden starting showing up with a lot of bruises lately.  At first my mom and dad thought it was because I am such a rough little boy and the fact that I am still fairly new to riding a 2 wheel bike.  But after a week of bruises not going away and new ones popping up my mom and dad said it was time to go to the Doc to see what was up!  And now we know that all the bruising was because my little body is sick with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.  Everyday my mom is gonna get on and update ya'll on my progress!  Keep the messages coming I love listening to my mom read them to me!  BRODYSTRONG!!!
Brody first started treatment at St Jude on 9/1/2010 and that phase was called induction!  In this phase they blast the body with alot of hard chemo to kill the cancer cells!!   Then we went into Consilidation phase in October and in this phase they blast his body with a high dose chemo and now we ar in the continuation phase which was started on 1/3/2011 and in this phase Brody will have 2 periods of Reinduction1 and Reinduction2 and in this time he will be living back at St Jude for at least 3 to 4 weeks each time and the rest of his treatment will be done at our affiliate clinic at home!!  In this phase we are mainly trying to keep the cancer from relapsing!!!
