A little a history on Emily:
Sept 1, 2020 diagnosed with brain cancer, Medulloblastoma
Sept 4, total resection on tumor
Sept 13, another craniotomy for to relieve pressure on the brain from fluid retention
Sept 18, discharged from Vanderbilt
Oct 6 we began a new journey at Barnes Jewish for proton radiation and chemo for 6 weeks
Dec 29 we began our 1st journey back at Monroe Carroll Children’s at Vandy with chemotherapy. She had 9 cycles. Completed this journey on Nov 8 2021
On Dec 8, 2022 it was confirmed that her cancer had returned, this time on her lower spine.
Dec 26, 2022 she had surgery to remove the tumor and it was a success!
In Jan 2023 she received 5 radiation treatments and started another chemo journey in Feb. this time we received 12 months of intense chemo. After the 12th round of chemo Jan 2024, 3 days later she went into cardiac arrest and septic shock because of intestinal issues that leaked out into her blood stream. Her liver took the biggest hit after the arrest. All bloodwork to this day shows her numbers are coming down and headed in the right direction. We have been discharged at Nortons and Frazier Rehab and will be getting outpatient PT here locally.
