Legacy of Jaxon Kash

September is  Cardiomyopathy awareness month and Childhood Cancer awareness month . Our precious sons life was cut short on 5/5/2021 after being diagnosed at 8 months with a rare heart disease Restrictive Cardiomyopathy. He went undiagnosed just like most others do with this disease . Restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) has the poorest prognosis among all types of heart muscle diseases, with 2- and 5- year mortality rates of 50% and 70%, respectively, and the highest rate of sudden cardiac death. 

After he passed away , we found out he also had Neuroblastoma . Neuroblastoma is rare, but it's the most common cancer in babies. Approximately 500-1000 cases/year in the US .

• 8% of all cancers, but responsible for over 15% of deaths.
• Median age at diagnosis is 2 years old.
• In 70% of the cases the disease has spread to other parts of the body at diagnosis.
• The prognosis for high-risk neuroblastoma was 20% until recently. Encouraging developments are increasing the chances of survival.

And because St. Jude shares the breakthroughs it makes, every child saved at St. Jude means doctors and scientists worldwide can use that knowledge to save thousands more children.
