Corey Zdrazil

Corey Zdrazil is an adorable 3 1/2 year old Huntington Beach boy. When Corey was 1 year old, he was diagnosed with Wilms' tumor, a pediatric kidney cancer. A 2 pound tumor was removed, along with his right kidney and some lymph nodes. Unfortunately, just 3 months after finishing chemotherapy treatments, Corey's cancer relapsed to his lungs and lower spine area. He was paralyzed for a few weeks until the new chemotherapy and radiation treatments started working. After finishing an intensive 24 week protocol, Corey enjoyed 10 months of being cancer-free and relearned how to walk. During follow-up scans in December of 2007, a small tumor was found in Corey's left lung. More chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant, which had Corey in the hospital for 34 days, has put Corey in remission. After a long and trying battle, Corey is coming through like a champion! He checks in with his doctors once a month now, has scans every 4 months, and he and his family are putting the disease behind them.

Due to some unfortunate insurance timing issues having to due with Corey's treatments, the Zdrazil's just got faced with bills totaling around $25,000 that won't be covered by insurance. The family is in real need of our help. Please consider being an angel and click on the link below to see the address where you can make any donation to the family, big or small. They will really need our help to get through this!
