Meet The Stanley Family
Greyson Stanley (9) is 7+ year cancer survivor. He was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia at 14 months old and went through extensive treatment including several rounds of chemotherapy (including spinal chemotherapy), a stem cell transplant and cranial radiation all before the age of 2. While Greyson is 7 years without evidence of disease, he will face a lifetime of physical and mental struggles due to the harsh treatments. In 2018, months after treatment ended, he was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. This has greatly impacted his physical growth. In 2020, Greyson was diagnosed with epilepsy, and this was primarily due to the cranial radiation. Greyson has seizures almost daily ranging from absent seizures to head drops. This has affected Greyson's daily well-being. In addition, the cranial radiation has caused significant brain damage, resulting in an intellectual disability. This has impacted all areas of his life, including schooling, socialization and physical capabilities.
Greyson will need life long care and be dependent on family. Let's make a difference for the Stanley family!
