He went into remission in December of 2021 but in April of last year, his cancer returned.

On Monday April 3rd, 2023 the Grahams received more devastating news… Tristen’s cancer had come back, and he was immediately admitted back into Valley Children’s Hospital in Madera.

GoFundMe page has been set up to help his family with medical and travel expenses.
