Even at 2 years old, Beckett was a very verbal child, able to describe how he felt. And how he felt was dizzy. He was also sick to his stomach from time to time, and had developed a head tilt. Beckett was ultimately diagnosed with ATRT, an aggressive form of brain cancer. From that moment on, said his dad, it was “game face.”.This was done and Kai came out with posterior fossa syndrome which ran its course, but again, is now considered cancer-free as of Feb 9th of 2022.

Atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor (ATRT) is a malignant central nervous system neoplasm primarily occurs in children who are younger than two years old. [] Though a variety of therapies have been used in patients with ATRT, they have suffered a dismal outcome of rapid recurrence and death with median survival time reported less than one year. []The term "rhabdoid" stems from the histologic appearance, which resembles that of a tumor of skeletal muscle origin, although in fact, rhabdoid cells are a distinct cellular population. All rhabdoid tumors share deletions in the long arm of chromosome 22, mapped to the INI-1 gene, believed to be a tumor suppressor 3.ATRT. Atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor (AT/RT) is a rare, malignant tumor that occurs in the brain and spinal cord of young children.
