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.

Long Chemo Week Over!

Lily had chemo everyday this week. It was Vincristine and Irinotecan, which made her feel so sick in the beginning of her treatment. What a difference this week was!

Lily has been eating, gaining weight and feeling relatively good. Each day was a countdown to the end of her treatment, which is coming up soon. She is scheduled for chemo Monday (Vincristine), then she will have another PET scan. If everything still looks good, she will be officially finished with treatment and will only need to go in for evaluations every 3 months.

We are excited/ anxious to see the results of her scan and will obviously keep everyone updated!! Please keep Lily in your thoughts/prayers...she's gonna rock this thing!

In other news, she is planning to attend a ski camp in March. The camp is in Aspen, Colorado and is funded by Shining Stars Foundation. It's going to be an awesome experience and Lily will have one on one instruction to learn how to ski!

Lily will also take part in a fashion show in March to benefit the Children's Cancer Network. Click here to register if you are interested in attending.
