About ParkerStrong
Parker was diagnosed with Spindle Cell/Sclerosing Rhabdomyosarcoma in October 2020. He received over 50 radiation treatments to his head. He received almost 9 months of chemo the first course and relapsed right before starting maintenance chemo. We then traveled to MD Anderson in Texas where we spent more than 3 months for him to have an incredibly complex surgery to resect the tumor. While the surgery was extremely hard to recover from and left him with some deficits, it was successful in removing the tumor with clear margins but unfortunately returned a few months later. He received several other salvage chemo therapies all unsuccessful. Ultimately after an incredibly courageous 18 month battle, he gained his wings on April 22, 2022.
We can’t get our angel back but we can work towards a cure and better treatments in his honor. We must raise awareness. We have to do better.
