The last time I photographed Nikolas something was missing. If you looked past the hair, the sparkly smile and the dancing eyes almost made you forget that a child that age shouldn’t be missing hair.
Nikolas was diagnosed with Stage 4 Neuroblastom in April 08. He is doing well now and he is such a little fighter! I found some info so I could understand the type of cancer better.
Neuroblastoma is a cancer that develops from nerve cells found in several areas of the body. Neuroblastoma most commonly arises in and around the adrenal glands, which have similar origins to nerve cells and sit atop the kidneys. However, neuroblastoma can also develop in other areas of the abdomen and in the chest, neck and pelvis, where groups of nerve cells exist. Neuroblastoma most commonly affects children age 5 or younger, though it may rarely occur in older children and adults.
Nikolas is winning the battle and he has amazing hair!!!
Way to go Nikolas!!!! Keep up the good fight : )
Nikolas put his hand on his face and I just loved it. I gotta show another because he was just so precious like that.
