Hudson began chemotherapy in August of 2012, just before his 3rd birthday, and will continue to undergo treatment for eighteen months. He will have MRI’s every three months to check his progress, and will continue to see many specialists throughout his lifetime. As NF1 is a progressive disorder, Hudson may never completely be out of the woods for many things, and his future is uncertain.
Neurofibromatosis is a genetic disorder of the nervous system that occurs in approximately one in every 3000 births. Tumors, or neurofibromas, can grow along the body's nerves on or underneath the skin, and can affect the brain, spinal cord, and other systemic functioning; approximately 5% of tumors become cancerous. Nearly 50% of children with NF1 have speech problems, learning disabilities, seizures, or hyperactivity. Individuals with NF1 may also have headaches, heart defects, scoliosis, bone abnormalities, high blood pressure, or blood vessel disease. There is no cure for NF1, and treatment includes surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation.
Luckily, Hudson is such a happy little boy who takes everything in stride, and lives purely in the moment. His infectious laugh makes your heart melt, as he is unaware of his terrible disorder........Please help!
Your donations will go towards Hudson's chemotherapy expenses, and also to the Children's Tumor Foundation, who strives to find a treatment, and ultimately a cure, for Neurofibromatosis.
