Jaiden

Jaiden At age 4 Lymphoma

Jaiden never acted sick, but his parents were concerned about a lump that appeared on his neck. Even though the lump didn’t hurt, it kept getting bigger. At a local children’s hospital, Jaiden underwent tests that revealed he suffered from Hodgkin’s lymphoma. His family turned to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® for his treatment, which includes chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20 percent to 80 percent since it opened 50 years ago. Jaiden is an outgoing boy who loves sports and doing arts and crafts. He’s also a great big brother.

Khamoni

Khamoni At age 6 Leukemia

In May 2013, Khamoni fell and couldn’t get back up. That night, she couldn’t get to sleep because she was in so much pain. When Khamoni’s symptoms persisted, her mom took her to the hospital, where tests revealed an abnormality. The doctor sent Khamoni to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® right away. At St. Jude, Khamoni was found to suffer from acute lymphoblastic leukemia. “I just started crying,” said her mom. “I thought it was something she couldn’t survive.” But the staff at St. Jude talked with Khamoni’s mom and eased her fears. St. Jude has increased the survival rates for ALL from 4 percent before opening in 1962 to 94 percent today. Khamoni has responded well to chemotherapy treatment and her cancer is in remission. She loves to sing, especially the song “Diamonds” by Rihanna.
