Support Dean's Journey with Leukemia
Hi,
My name is Helen and I am making this on behalf of my bestfriend, Kiley, her husband, Dustin, and their 6 year old son, Dean. In November 2022, at just 4 years old, Dean was diagnosed with Leukemia. He had chemotherapy and after over a 2 year battle, he got to ring the bell on March 6th, 2025 because he beat Leukemia! In April 2025, his labs were good and he was able to get his port removed. He was so excited to be able to go on his Make-A-Wish trip that was coming up in May. However, this all came to a stop on May 1, 2025. He went to clinic and upon his results from his bloodwork, the Leukemia has returned. He is now starting over with chemotherapy and treatment. While he starts over with all of the treatments, his mom has to miss weeks of work while she stays with him at the hospital. His dad travels back and forth from home to the hospital, over a 3 hour round trip. Then his medications have started over and they have to cover the majority of the cost out of pocket. Once they get Dean back into remission, they are planning to do a bone marrow transplant. This also means that Dean will have to miss school. He loves school and cried about not being able to go back, when he found out he had cancer again
Kiley isn't one to ask for help, but if we all come together, we can help ease the burden of everyday life that doesn't stop adding up. If you are unable to donate, just please pray for Dean and his family. Thank you.

Update #3 Latest from Kiley.
June 25th, 2025
We were finally able to come home after 6 days in the hospital. Dean is doing great on his immunotherapy like he did before. His labs looked great at clinic today and we go back on the 26th. He will have an LP that day along with seeing the dental side of clinic to make sure everything is good to go before his transplant. They have already started tests while we were in the hospital to make sure everything looks good. He had an ekg and echo done on his heart. He has two perfect 12/12 matches and one has the same blood type for his transplant. When his immunotherapy is finished and as long as his next MRD comes back negative, he will be starting the process of prepping for his bone marrow transplant July 28th. He will have a few days of chemo, and an external port placed. He will also have five days of radiation, some of those days will be twice a day. He has a huge journey ahead of him and I'm still processing/researching what I can do to help him when this starts.
Friday May 16th update from Kiley

Dean had his 3rd spinal tap with injections and chemo infusions today. The blast cells in his spinal fluid did not decrease from last week, but they did not increase either. Dustin and I are hoping Dean's next spinal tap on the 23rd will show a huge decrease in blast cells. His hair is beginning to fall out, so we're about to cut it shorter to make it easier on him. Dean was able to get a little fresh air today that he enjoyed, and that I enjoyed with him too! Almost forgot to mention this exciting news... His results came in for bone marrow matches, and he has quite a bit! We just need to get him into remission for that next phase.

Update... Dean's surgery on Friday to get his port went great along with his LP, chemo injection, and infusions. He is going through intense chemo to get him back into remission and will have a bone marrow transplant in 2-3 months as long as there aren't any complications. He has 4 more LP's to check blast cell counts and have a chemo or steroid injection. Those will be done every Friday with the last one being on the 30th.
