Kate was diagnosed with Lymphoma on May
20, 2011, 5 days after her 5th birthday. Her mom found a lump behind
her right ear while washing her hair. After surgery to biopsy the lymph
node they received the news that she had cancer. She went into the
hospital on May 23rd to have her port installed and begin chemo. It took
a little over 6 months to complete the rigorous regiment of chemo, but
after a clean scan in December 2011 she began maintenance. Maintenance
is an 18 month process barring any setbacks or hospitalizations. So far
so good! If Kate continues to do as well as she has, she should complete
her chemo some time this summer and have her port removed in August.
She is a very tough cookie and has been an inspiration to many during
this journey.
