Shawn Giamei is a lively, happy, smart 2 1/2 yr old boy in Queen Creek, AZ. Recently Shawn was diagnosed with Wilm's Tumor. The surgeons at Phoenix Children's Hospital removed Shawn's kidney, along with a 2.5 lb tumor.
Further scanning revealed spots in Shawn's lung. The doctors decided to treat this aggresively in hopes of defeating this cancer.
Shawn started chemotherapy last week. He's a little trooper. Right now he doesn't feel too bad, even taking a swim with his doctor's consent.
Even though insurance covers Shawn's surgery, doctor's care and chemo, it fails to pay for anti-nausea medication, travel expense to and from the hospital, and supplimental medications and vitamins. Also, he has been put on a special diet to help him put on weight.
All of the above extras are vital to Shawn's recovery.
Even though Shawn's extended family is trying to help with these costs, he needs more help.
