This past week was hard. Olivia started complaining with a headache Monday evening that continued to get worse over the next day. Wednesday morning we went to clinic to prepare for scans where they decide to admit her into the hospital. CT scans were ordered that ruled out any emergencies which was great! Later that evening MRI was scheduled and results came back Thursday morning with abnormalities in the scan. Given her health history this automatically has everyone thinking recurrent cancer so a biopsy is scheduled and the waiting game begins. Her blood counts were elevated which also has everyone think of potential relapse. Saturday morning Dr. confirmed there is no recurrentcancer after two separate pathology reviews.
We live in a constant state of fear each time Olivia gets sick that the cancer has returned. Our mission is to find a cure so families do not have to endure this terror each time there child gets sick.
Please join us and donate to help find a cure. 99% of all donations received will go to the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital or St. Jude Affiliate Clinic at Novant Health Hemby Children's Hospital to continue to help families like ours!
