“A year ago, doctors weren’t sure he would survive… today, he’s smiling like nothing ever happened.”
A year ago, Carter was fighting for his life. Today, he’s sitting up, smiling, flashing a peace sign, and talking about video games, football, and dogs—just like any other kid. But behind that smile is a journey few could imagine.
Diagnosed with Stage 4 neuroblastoma, Carter endured five rounds of chemo, immunotherapy, two bone marrow transplants, radiation, and months in the hospital. At his lowest… he was placed on life support. Twice.
His family heard the words no one is prepared for:
“He might not make it.”
But Carter chose to fight.
And today—there’s a miracle.
His April 2nd scans came back clear: no tumors.
Still, the fear lingers—a 70% chance of relapse. Life now moves in three-month intervals, each scan filled with hope… and quiet fear.
