Meet St. Jude patient, Tam. Tam was 4 years old when he started to feel sick in 2017. After undergoing a CT scan, Tam was diagnosed with anaplastic ependymoma, a fast-growing cancerous brain tumor. Tam underwent surgery to remove the tumor and three weeks of rehabilitation in his home state of California.
Doctors referred Tam to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® which is home to the world’s first proton therapy center solely for children. St. Jude soon became a second home. Tam received radiation treatment and chemotherapy before going
home less than a year later in 2018.
“There have been no setbacks, no relapses. All has been gravy,” Tien said.
Tam, the oldest of four and the only boy, enjoys arts and crafts, knitting, sewing and cooking. Tam wants to own a business one day.
