Seven-year-old Avery Harriman has slayed cancer twice, and now must endure a third battle with the disease, one that his father, Nebraska assistant basketball coach Chris Harriman, said is “very serious.”


Harriman said Avery will undergo intense chemotherapy beginning next week after a bone marrow biopsy on Wednesday revealed leukemia has returned to Avery’s bone marrow.

“Because this is third time, it is very serious,” Harriman said. “Our oncology team is meeting as we speak to come up with a good plan for him. We will begin treatment next week. Our first goal is getting him back into remission by using chemotherapy. After that, we will discuss further options.”

Harriman said Avery became very ill a few months ago, and since that time that his bone marrow wasn’t making cells in order to help him recover. That’s when doctors ordered the biopsy.

“We are crushed and devastated, but we will never stop fighting,” Harriman said. “Please keep him in your prayers.”

Avery was initially diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia at age 2, and relapsed on Oct. 17, 2012.

Doctors found a donor match that allowed Avery to have a bone marrow transplant on Feb. 15, 2013, and that kept Avery leukemia-free, until now.
