Less than two weeks after Molly started experiencing numbness in her face, she was diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma, a type of cancer that forms in bone or soft tissue. Molly underwent brain surgery to remove the tumor and has recently finished chemotherapy. Molly’s dad said that while he could never have imagined hearing the word cancer, he finds comfort in knowing how much the hospital staff cares for his daughter. “Cook Children’s is a big part of this new life that we have to live while we get through this season,” he said. “It’s not just us fighting this fight. While the journey hasn’t been easy, Molly has worked to express any fears and concerns with the support of Child Life specialists.”

At just 20 months old, Libbiana (Libbi) was diagnosed with stage 2 Wilms tumor in the height of the pandemic. On the day that Libbi was planning to ring the bell to celebrate being cancer-free at Golisano Children’s Hospital, her family learned that the cancer had come back and that it was growing rapidly. It consumed Libbi’s entire abdominal and pelvic area, compressing her bladder, intestines, and lungs. Despite strong chemotherapy, the tumor wasn’t shrinking. A risky and complicated surgery became the only option for her survival. Thankfully, by the time Libbi turned three, she had beat Wilms tumor twice. Over the course of 150 nights and an additional 150 days in the oncology clinic, Libbi overcame major emergency surgeries, being on a ventilator, blood and platelet transfusions, the removal of a kidney, intensive chemotherapy, and so much more. Today, Libbi is five years old, cancer-free, and healthy. She and her family love to share her story to give hope to other families.

Donations to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals ensured that Libbi and her family had the care and support they needed as she fought to beat cancer.

After searching for answers to explain the sudden loss of movement in her leg, Paislie was diagnosed was acute lymphoblastic leukemia. At four years old, Driscoll Children’s Hospital became ‘home’ for Paislie and her family. She began an intense chemotherapy regimen while celebrating her birthday and the holidays in the hospital. As with any child with cancer, Paislie experienced several highs and lows throughout her treatment and even came close to losing a kidney. Thankfully doctors at Driscoll were able to able to provide her with the lifesaving care she needed to not only treat her cancer but also to save her kidney and send her on a path to creating more milestones. Paislie rang the bell to mark her last chemotherapy treatment at six years old. She continues to receive follow-up care at Driscoll’s Cancer and Blood Disorder Center, and her prognosis is good.
