Pablo Jose's story

Pablo Jose was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in 2021 at the age of 5 in his homeland of Guatemala. ALL is the most common type of childhood cancer.

 
 

Pablo Jose received chemotherapy treatment in Guatemala and responded to the treatment. But after 18 months, he began to experience fevers and body pains he had felt before his initial diagnosis. Tests revealed the leukemia had returned. Doctors in Guatemala referred Pablo Jose to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee.

Pablo Jose arrived in May 2023 at St. Jude, where his treatment included chemotherapy and radiation therapy. In August 2023, Pablo Jose received a bone marrow transplant to give him the best chance for long-term remission or a cure. His sister served as his donor.

 
 

Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food — so they can focus on helping their child live.

Pablo Jose finished treatment and returned home. His father said he’s doing well and is full of energy. He enjoys going to school, playing soccer, drawing and painting.

 

For me, St. Jude is another world. It is the best in every sense of the word, not only the people who work at St. Jude but the medicine they offer.
