  • Four-year-old Wade's journey with McMaster Children's Hospital began with a persistent fever. A visit to his family doctor back in 2022 prompted a trip to the local hospital in Cambridge. There, initial blood tests suggested Wade had leukemia. This revelation catapulted him into the specialized care of McMaster Children's Hospital, the only hospital in south-central Ontario with an inpatient pediatric cancer program. Upon their arrival at McMaster Children's Hospital, Wade's family was immediately enveloped by a team ready to provide both medical care and emotional support.
