Riel Antoine underwent his first bout of intravenous chemotherapy in August 2019 following a surgery that removed most, but not all, of a brain tumour discovered in the newborn. The chemotherapy kept Riel and his parents confined to a room at BC Childrenâs Hospital for nearly a year, until the spring of 2020.
Image Credit: SUBMITTED/Antoine family March 16, 2021 - 6:00 AM A Kamloops toddler who has battled a rare form of brain cancer for nearly two years will return home to his family this month after an MRI scan showed no signs of a tumour. Two-year-old Riel Antoine completed his second set of chemotherapy treatments at B.C. Children’s Hospital in Vancouver in January and, with his blood cell levels returning to normal, will be coming home with father Frank Antoine on March 28.
The news has mother Bonnie Lepine Antoine relieved and hopeful the tumour won’t grow back. Riel will have MRIs every three months to monitor for any signs. “When you’re in the cancer world, it’s a journey and I think the journey doesn’t stop,” Lepine Antoine said. “I think it’s important to celebrate those little victories because we don’t know what tomorrow brings, we don’t know if his scan in April’s going to be clear and we don’t know five months, six months down the road.” Riel received the maximum amount of the chemotherapy permitted for his age. If the cancer returns, the only other option for treatment will be radiation, Lepine Antoine said, noting her son won’t be eligible for that until he is five years old.
