Stathi

Stathi was diagnosed with stage IV intermediate-risk neuroblastoma at just 8 months of age. The Super Jake Foundation awarded Stathi and his family a grant to help with everyday expenses including a mounting insurance deductible associated with his out of network cancer treatment. Both of Stathi’s parents were forced to miss work to care for their son. Stathi has undergone 14 rounds of chemo followed by 6 months of Retinoic Acid and he still has a handful of little lesions and tumor tissue remaining in his body. He is currently being monitored with monthly doctor appointments, blood work, and tests and scans every few months. Stathi has also been battling an intestinal infection called C-Diff, which has proved to be extremely hard to get rid of; they are on their 4th round of antibiotics. Stathi’s development is fantastic; he is talking English and Greek and repeating everything his mom and dad say.
