All Saints Graduate Battling Leukemia
Javier Tecuatl is undergoing an aggressive treatment for ALL Leukemia. He is a Junior at Wheaton-Warrenville South High School.
Javier is a 2015 graduate of All Saints Catholic Academy in Naperville.
Javier enjoys learning, especially math class, and dreams of one day becoming a doctor. Javier is a member of his school’s football, wrestling, and track and field teams. Like many teens, he has a part time job at Dunkin Donuts, and dreams of fancy cars.
Everything changed in the winter of 2018 when Javier was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). It is a cancer of the bone marrow, blood, and white blood cells. He is anticipated to have three to four years of chemotherapy treatment. Javier continues to stay upbeat and positive when he can, maintaining his “rock of the family” outlook. Because of the treatment needed and his depleted immune system, Javier is not anticipated to return to school this year.
