Look At Me Now!!!
At only eight years old, Jose Adrian became very sick. It started with a tumor in the throat, then on the face and the doctors him only gave him 8 days to live.
For two years he received treatments at the Hospital Civil, stretching the family finances to the point where they had to sleep on the street outside the hospital to be there with him.....until a friend told them about Niños Incapacitados.
2013, Jose Adrian entered the Niños Incapacitados program. He was diagnosed with "lymphoblastic leukemia". Childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a type of cancer in which the bone marrow produces too many immature lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell).
His treatments started immediately on a weekly basis, then every 2 weeks, then once a month, every two months, etc for 4 years. He continues to go to the hospital every 6 months.
His treatment schedule has taken more than 5 years of his young life.
