It was a difficult decision to come to ASCO. It’s an expensive conference in an expensive city. The 5-day conference was filled with keynotes, panel discussions and poster presentations on the latest cutting-edge cancer research.

Last week, our family flew back to Stanford Children's Hospital in CA for Sebas’ next round of cancer scans and follow up appointments.

As 2023 comes to a close, we wanted to take a moment to celebrate some of the great strides cureMEC made this year.

cureMEC, in partnership with Rally Foundation for Childhood Cancer Research, is excited to announce that we have awarded a $50,000 “Outside the Box” grant

Good news! We got the results and the chest CT scan was “stable”!

Thanks to our incredible research partner, cc-TDI, A lot has been happening to advance the science of MEC and ultimately find a cure.

Guest post and update by our research partner, the Children’s Cancer Therapy Development Institute.

We are so excited to announce that last week we presented the Children's Cancer Therapy Development Institute (cc-TDI) with our first grant.

Today is the anniversary of Sebastián's diagnosis of Myoepithelial Carcinoma (MEC). It is a day we will never forget and that changed our lives forever.

This weekend, Michael traveled to Washington DC so he could represent cureMEC at CureFest for Childhood Cancer.

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month!

We are so excited and honored to be in Portland, OR at the Children's Cancer Therapy Development Institute (cc-TDI) headquarters for the first ever Nanocourse on Myoepithelial Carcinoma.

Michael did it! Today he shaved his head in solidarity with Sebas.

We are excited to share that cureMEC has a new logo!

Mil gracias to the amazing Valeria Montes and Casa Flamenca for last night’s special “Besos for Sebas” fundraiser.

Our AMAZING and dear friend Sandra celebrated her 45th birthday this past weekend and hosted an unbelievable birthday party fundraiser in support of cureMEC.

Last week, Sebas got his last dose of chemotherapy. Yesterday, he had a CT of his lungs and an MRI of his hand. We got the results today and good news to share! Most of the nodules in his lungs have shrunk or disappeared.

Today, Sebastian turned 3 years old! Happy birthday, Sebas! As a gift, dozens of friends and family members joined the legendary Dolores Huerta to record a video blowing a Beso (kiss) to Sebas and wishing him a happy birthday.
