On January 5th, 2011, Lily was admitted to the Phoenix Children's Hospital because she was experiencing pain in her legs and back. A week later and after what felt like a million tests, scans and biopsies, we had a diagnosis: she has a soft tissue tumor called Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma. A PET scan revealed a small tumor in her foot that was not apparent from the outside; it was not until the cancer had already spread to her bone marrow that she experienced any symptoms. This came as a total shock to everyone as Lily has always been healthy, active and full of energy. We love our darling girl and her sweet, happy, loving spirit. This website is for friends and family to stay connected during this difficult time.

Good News

We talked to the doctor yesterday and received the results from the PET scan. Good news! The tumor in Lily's foot has shrunk and the cancer that has spread to her bone marrow has diminished.  You can visually see this in the PET scan.

The darkened areas show uptake and indicate the presence of cancer;
ignore the darkened areas of her organs.
 


We are so thankful that Lily is responding to the treatments. We hope and pray that she continues to do so.
