Vinny, during his treatment for neuroblastoma. Our time enjoying life as new parents abruptly ended when Vinny was admitted to hospital at two months old. He had a virus and needed close monitoring. We will forever be thankful for this virus as the close monitoring led us to find a tumour, which was the size of a tennis ball, in his chest. It took over two weeks to receive the diagnosis no parent ever wants to hear: Vinny was diagnosed with stage one neuroblastoma. We continued to monitor the situation without treatment, but at four months old, his diagnosis had escalated to stage 4S, and we began chemotherapy.
