'I hope that one day I can give hope to people. There is hope with all this. Just because you seem like you’re going through a dark day, it’s not like it’s the last,” Geovani Galvez said.
INDIANAPOLIS — Ten days post-stem-cell-transplant, six-year-old Levi Galvez spends his Friday morning playing with clay and Legos in his hospital room at Riley Hospital For Children.“Yeah, four years we’ve lived here — in and out of the hospital,” Geovani Galvez said reflecting on his son’s cancer journey.
Around Christmas last year, Levi Galvez relapsed once again. Doctors told the family a stem cell transplant was the best treatment option. There was no match for the six-year-old through the national registry.The dad of two was a half-match donor, and on March 1 this past year, the transplant was performed.
“Sometimes I used to wonder why I lived, but there was a greater purpose after that,” Geovani Galvez said.
