Meet Our Cancer Warriors
Cooper was only 3 years old when she was diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia in April 2020. A creative, imaginative little girl who loves to play make-believe, Cooper underwent chemotherapy at Phoenix Children’s throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. “Super Cooper,” as her parents call her, has inspired her family with her strength, resilience and wisdom. “I call her my bald-headed guru because I’ve learned so much from her,” says her dad.
As the COVID-19 pandemic reached Arizona in early 2020, Chase developed a persistent cough. The teenager was admitted to Phoenix Children’s, where he received an unexpected diagnosis: Hodgkin lymphoma, a cancer of the lymphatic system. After undergoing chemotherapy and radiation treatment, he was declared free of cancer in September 2020. The following month, he competed in the AIA Division 1 Boys State Golf Championship, where he finished in the top 20.
At age 7, Morgan was diagnosed with peripheral T-cell lymphoma, a rare form of cancer that is nearly always fatal. Her care team at Phoenix Children’s determined that an allogeneic bone marrow transplant, a procedure in which a patient receives healthy stem cells from a donor, would give her the best odds for survival. Now 9 years old, Morgan celebrated the two-year anniversary of her transplant in July 2021.
