Rally Kid Logan's Story
On Guam in February 2021, Logan was playing softball with some of my fellow colleagues as we were preparing for a championship game. He fell as he was playing with my fellow teammates and complained that it was hurting but “it’s far from the heart” and he will be okay. A week later we were at a friend’s house and he was playing hide and seek with other kids that were there, and then all of a sudden, he just fell down and started holding his leg that he fell on a week ago and cried “mommy It hurts so bad”.
The next day I took Logan to Dr. Dina and she had us go do some imaging. In less than 24 hours she calls me suddenly and tells me, “Mommy I do not want to assume anything, but the images do not look too good, and I recommend you seek a second opinion”. My mom and I researched my options, and we narrowed it down to Texas, California, and Georgia. So, Georgia it was.
On March 25, we arrive in Atlanta, Logan was in so much pain that he could not walk during our trip. The orthopedic appointment came and Dr. Murphy was very honest and informed us that Logan’s bone color on the imaging did not look well at all and his doctor gave us the best advice to seek immediate care.
Suddenly, on April 7th 2021, Logan kept having fevers and nonstop nose bleeds, so I rushed him to the closest urgent care. The doctor came in the room and said we need to get the ER asap because his blood work did not look too good and his fevers were not going down even with the Tylenol. Finally, the ER physician came in and said that Logan is being admitted to the 5th floor which was the blood disorder floor. As we were walking up to the AFLAC floor, I saw the sign “hematology/oncology unit” and from there I knew that there was more to the diagnosis than just a bone infection.
On April 9th, 2021, at 721pm, my son Logan Edward Camacho was diagnosed with B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia at the age of 4. He went through chemotherapy along with some clinical trials, but he fought hard. We had a lot of side effects from the chemo and had to pause treatment due to it.
On December 7th, 2023, Logan received his last chemo and was heading towards remission. On March 10th, 2024, Logan got his port removed and was officially done with chemotherapy. Finally, on March 13th, 2024, Logan RANG THE BELL and my baby was cancer free!
As of today, Logan is a smart and loving 4th grader who has an older stepbrother and two younger brothers who continuously support him and his survivorship from cancer!
