Alaina was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma Cancer at 13 months old. A golf ball size mass was found pressing up against her airway. This will be a long road to recovery as we are just starting the first round of chemotherapy. They will have a reevaluation of surgical removal of the mass after the first few rounds of chemotherapy. The Drs want to shrink the mass before attempting surgical removal beca
use the surgery is currently too dangerous. We appreciate any donations to this life changing event. Her Father and Mother are nurses themselves; they have devoted their lives to carrying for others. Its hard to be on the other side of things. They are currently on a leave of absence from work until she is moved out of a critical unit. This has been an emotional rollercoaster for sure. We appreciate the continued support and prayers. Though Alaina's original tumor on her airway has started to shrink, we also received news that the cancer was also found in her facial bone under her eye. This deems the cancer stage 4 since it is in the bone. The chemotherapy will continue for approximately 6 months. She will get to go home for breaks between rounds when the Drs feels it is safe. They have been in the hospital for a month so far. This benefit will take place May 14th at Daryls Place in Santa Fe. The address is 3330 Avenue A, Santa Fe TX 77510. 12 to 6pm. KSU for the fun run has changed to 10:30.
