Cole Vukich
2013 Honoree
Cole Vukich is the 6 year old son of West Pierce Fire & Rescue firefighter Steve Vukich and his wife Brooke. Cole was diagnosed at 2 years old with Biphenotypic Acute Leukemia (both AML & ALL)
Cole is currently receiving high-risk ALL treatments. In the past 3 1/2 years Cole has had to endure 25 intrathecal lumbar punctures (where chemo is injected into the spinal fluid) 98 IV drip chemo infusions, 7 MRI's, 4 CT's, 5 Bone Marrow aspirations, 7 Blood transfusions, 5 platelets transfusions, IVIG infusions, Pic line placements, and surgery for port placement. He takes between 1 and 9 chemo pills daily. This is all to keep the cancer from returning. Cole has been in remission for a year and a half. Cole has 7 months of chemotherapy left to go. We were told this makes him one of Mary Bridge's longest on treatment pediatric cancer patients they have ever had. When Cole is done he will have been on treatments for 3 years and 10 months.
While new treatments and therapies are developed every day that continue to save thousands of lives, there is still isn’t a cure for cancer. Each dollar fundraised through the Scott Firefighter Stairclimb helps to fund vital blood cancer research, as well as to help support patients and their families.
