Emmy's Story Archive

where Emmy’s cancer has returned, at the original tumor site, is very close to a number of vital parts, especially her bladder. So close in fact, that another surgery would mean the removal of her bladder completely and then a lifetime of associated complications. Not a road we wish to do down. Protons are allowing us to treat the recurrence without doing to much damage to the surrounding areas. A ultra precise game of millimeters.

Emery was diagnosed when she was just 5 months old and since then it has been a constant rotation of hospitals, doctors, nurses, needles, port access, tubes, anesthesia, scars, blood, chemo drugs, endless car rides and so much puke. It is what she knows which, in itself, is both good and bad.

So proud of this little warrior!!!
