In July 2025, Liam Box, a child from Georgia, United States, was just 16 months old when he was diagnosed with stage 4 neuroblastoma after his parents noticed swelling under his ribs. 💛 Tests detected a mass measuring approximately 12 centimeters in his abdomen, and a biopsy confirmed the diagnosis.
During chemotherapy, Liam suffered a severe reaction to a medication that led to his admission to the pediatric intensive care unit and kept him on a ventilator for 27 hours. 🧸❤️ His family began sharing his story and the complex medical process he was going through publicly, receiving support from the community as he continued his treatment.
