Batter Up! Baseball season starts! Scott, Kathleen, Sean and Heather.


Welcome to Seans web page. It has been provided to keep
people updated about Seans condition as he battles Neuroblastoma, a rare and devastating childhood cancer. Sean has stage 3 neuroblastoma with favorable biology which places him in an Intermediate Risk catagory. Sean is a triplet and was born on October 8th, 2002. His sisters are Kathleen and Heather. He has a 10yr. old brother Scott Andrew and an 24yr. old sister Tiffany. He was diagnosed on September 9th, 2003. He had an incomplete resection October 10th, 2003 at Sloan Kettering in N.Y. My Little Sean lost his Papa-(Daddy) suddenly on May 10, 2004. Seans page has become a family page at times. What happens to one of us effects all of the others. Sean is currently doing great and the Doctors feel his residual tumor is beginning to regress!

On June 22, 2005, Sean had surgery at Memorial Sloan Kettering to reimplant his left ureter. September 9th, 2008 will be 5 years from the date of diagnosis of Neuroblastoma. He looks and feels fantastic. Sean's 2/06 MRI shows "Mild improvement" and no evidence of recurrence and his Renal Scan was good. 8/06 MRI-"probable scar tissue", Renal U/S is without change. Urine for catecholamines (secreted by the tumor) was normal. He saw the long term effects folks in February.
8/07 MRI-No evidence of disease recurrence or progression when compared to 8/06. Stable minor contracted L3-L4 neural foraminal soft tissue most compatible with treated disease-scar. 02/08 MRI-Minimal residual infiltrative changes within the L L3-4 neural is stable and compatible with treated disease/scar..Urine catecholamines HVA 9 (<17) VMA 6 (<8) 3/09-"MRI: Mild residual enhancement in the region of the left lumbar neuroforamina as prev noted and could reflect post-radiation (which he didn't have) and post-surgical changes." His HVA is 7 and VMA 5, (I think). He isn't exactley NED as there is still a little "something" showing up on scans, probably scar! It has not grown or changed and so we leave it alone! (Mom keeps hoping it will just disappear!)

Sean has a smile quilt.

We are excited to be going to the Alex's Lemonade Symposium!

Saturday, June 20, 2009
Thanks to everyone who came out the the Alex's Lemonade Stand in Cedarville, it made over $3500.00. Please say a prayer for our friend Joe. He and his wife Jan run the stand. Joe was not able to attend as he was sick. He was just diagnosed w/CLL and is going through staging tests.

Nice article about Sean, who will be a "Pedal Partner" this year for the Pan Mass Challenge.

He will be a pedal partner for the team www.myfriendsforlife.org The funds go the the Jimmy Fund at Dana Farber Cancer Institute, but this group raises the money specifically for Neuroblastoma.

God Bless, Love, Ellen



Now it is Alex’s Lemonade time. I’m thinking that this year we will not have our own stand, but help my friend Jan who has a bigger one up in Plymouth. Donations can still be made in Sean’s honor on this site or at www.alexslemonade.org Please look for an Alex’s Lemonade stand near you or consider having one of your own. Childhood cancer is still grossly underfunded, and there is much work to be done.

Plans for our 4th annual lemonade stand are well underway at Shaw's in Cedarville and excitement is definitely in the air! With an ever increasing number of associates and friends involved, this proves to be our best year yet. Our giant raffle will once again be the high point of the day and includes such items as RED SOX TICKETS, a gas grill, an IPod Shuffle, a digital camera, regulation size basketball hoop, a bicycle, one night stay at a Cape Cod
B & B, a day of beauty at a local salon, and various gift cards too numerous to list. This year, along with face painting, balloon shaping, and caricatures, we will be offering a hot dog lunch. We guarantee lots of fun for a very good cause!
