Miracle Story – Liam
is raising funds for
2022 Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital Radiothon presented by CIBC Wood Gundy
When a lump on the right side of Liam’s elbow continued to grow, his family knew something was very wrong. Mom Carmen soon received a call that would change their family’s lives forever. After an abundance of tests and procedures, it was determined that Liam had Ewing’s Sarcoma. The treatment plan was seven rounds of chemotherapy, surgical removal of the tumor on his elbow, and another seven rounds of chemotherapy.
In September, Liam and his family packed their bags and made the trip to Toronto from their home in Martensville for Liam’s surgery. The surgery Liam was about to undergo was extensive, complex, and incredibly time consuming. On September 29, 2022, Liam said his goodbyes to his family as they rolled him into the operating room to begin his surgery. His surgery lasted a total of 18 hours, three more than was originally anticipated.
On October 13, 2022 Liam made the journey home from Toronto back to Saskatoon. Without even stopping for a meal or to freshen up at the house, Liam, his mom, and his dad drove their car straight to JPCH to begin Liam’s eighth round of chemotherapy. Liam’s journey forward will be lengthy, complicated, and there will be many unknowns but Liam is facing his journey with curiosity and bravery.
One day, Liam aspires to be a doctor. After experiencing the grueling and intense battle himself, he knows what a big part his doctors had to play in the road to his recovery. From his doctors in Saskatchewan at JPCH who began and will continue Liam’s future treatments and maintenance to the doctors who spent 18 hours in an operating room with a kid they didn’t know, Liam knows he wouldn’t be here today without them. Liam hopes to one day be able to pay-it-forward to help other sick children in Saskatchewan.
