Meet Our Patients: Pediatric Hematology, Oncology and Bone Marrow Transplant
Learn how you can share your story
Each year the Pediatric Hematology, Oncology and Bone Marrow Transplant Program at American Family Children's Hospital in Madison, Wisconsin cares for infants, children and adolescents with cancer, hematological, neurocutaneous and immunological disorders in Madison, Wisconsin.
All of our patients are exceptional, and we'd like you to meet a few:

Jamison Davis of Roscoe, Illinois, was diagnosed at age 19 with Ewing's Sarcoma, a cancer that occurs primarily in the bone or soft tissue. Jamison and his family came to Madison because they knew the hospital's team offered a combination of knowledge, experience and compassionate cancer care they could not find closer to home. |

In some ways, Kaitlin and Kylie Drechsel are just like typical 3-year-old girls. And, like any pair of siblings, they can occasionally be a handful for their mom and dad, Lynn and Jim. What makes the Drechsel's handful overflow at times, however, is that their identical twin girls have cancer. Both of them. |
