Update

Posted by: Wes In: News

Last Saturday I returned home from my 3 weeks of treatment in Michigan, I feel a lot better and don’t know exactly what’s to come in the next few weeks just yet.  This Monday I repeated a Bone Marrow Biopsy so that we can see what’s going on with my situation and what we need to do from here.  I’ll be meeting with my doctor in Rochester on Monday where he will have all the results and we’ll discuss what needs to be done from here as far as treatment goes.  I’ll have all the info updated monday night, which will include how I’m doing as far as my AML, where we need to go from here and if necessary my full treatment schedule.

About

Wes Laporte, 18, local to Belle River, ON with family; Brian (father), Maureen (mother) and Brother Matthew have been thrown into a roller coaster of issues. Wes has been diagnosed with the beginnings of Leukemia, without treatment Wes' condition is fatal. Father, Brian works in Alberta as a pipe fitter, however, as Wes' condition has gotten worse has had to take a layoff to take care of his family. Mother, Maureen works on an assembly line to help make ends meet.

The situation for Wes and his family is not good. Wes' only chance is to receive newly-developed treatments in the United States. With no out-of-country insurance, the Laporte family are reaching out to the community to aid funding, and to ultimately save their son's life.
