The Boy They Call Jayne

Jayne Wood is my four month old son who was diagnosed with AML, a type of leukemia. Because this type of leukemia, and the subsequent chemotherapy, depletes his immune system to almost nothing, this blog will document, capture, and extol the journey of Jayne, his parents, the medical staff, and his family while battling cancer before he could even walk. "Jayne stood up to cancer and gave it what for, our love for him now ain't hard to explain, the hero battlin' cancer, the boy they call Jayne."
