Hi! I’m Harvey, a 6-year-old cancer-fighting warrior from Minnesota. My journey began on March 18, 2022, when I was diagnosed with leukemia. After 123 days of intense cancer treatment, I experienced a glimmer of hope when I achieved remission on July 19, 2022. Unfortunately, after 18 months of treatment, my cancer returned.
On October 5, 2023, I found out that I relapsed, and cancer had spread to my spinal fluid. I spent 7 weeks away from home in Philadelphia, PA, receiving CAR T therapy – a promising cancer treatment. On January 26, 2024, my doctors told me that I was once again in remission, and no cancer cells were found in my body!
We hope the T cells I received from CAR T therapy will continue to keep me cancer-free. I’ll have many more appointments and bone marrow biopsies/spinal fluid tests over the next year, but I’m back home, able to return to school, and living my best life!
Thank you to each and every one of you who has thought of me, followed my journey, or helped me in so many thoughtful, heartfelt ways since my cancer fight began on March 18, 2022!
