About Me

On April 25, 2007, I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Neuroblastoma at Children's Hospital in Cincinnati. The doctors told my family and I that the cancer most likely originated in the womb, and that I have a 33% chance of survival. I was immediately operated on because I had tumors in my stomach. I also had a tumor behind my right eye. The tumor was too close to my brain, so the doctors are used 6 rounds of chemotherapy to reduce it instead of operating. I had tumors in my bone marrow, too. I started chemotherapy on May 2nd. Neuroblastoma is very aggressive, so the doctors wanted to hit it hard with 6 intensive rounds of chemotherapy. After that, they will gave me a bone marrow transplant, and they will harvested my own cells for the transplant. Obviously, this was a very long road for myself and for my family, and it still is. Mom (Jody), Dad (Mike), and big sister Sheridan (4 years old) need all the help they can get to help me through my journey. Right now, I am NED - No Evidence of Disease. PLEASE PRAY FOR ME! I know that I can fight and win this battle with cancer with the good Lord's help and all of your prayers. And if anyone would like to help in any other way, either by donating services or money, or by spreading my name and story to everyone you know, it will be greatly appreciated and cherished forever. Anyone can go to ANY US Bank and donate in Roman M. Fariello's name. Please make sure the spelling is correct when donating: Roman M. Fariello. You can also visit Roman's website to donate at www.rescueroman.org, and the donations can be made through PayPal. Please feel free to e-mail me, comment me, and most of all PRAY FOR ME!!! My "adopted" big sister Lauren will answer all e-mails and reply to comments and such. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story and hopefully you will keep me in your prayers. God Bless!!-Lauren Brown, speaking for Roman Fariello and his family.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

ANYONE WHO WANTS TO HELP ME!!!Help get a pediatric cancer show on Oprah and spread awareness! The closest thing to a show on Pediatric cancer was in June 2004 when Alex Scott was on the show "Stars of Spider-Man 2 and Real-Life Superheroes". She repeatedly does shows on other topics, but never a show for pediatric cancer. Please, send the producers an email. Then right click in the textbox and select all. Copy and paste somewhere on your site to spread the word!
