About this campaign
Fighting cancer is a deeply physical and emotionalbattle. Supporting the fight can take all you have and more.But you can help by becoming part of the Team. Become a Warrior and wear your Team Emma T-Shirt to show your support. Help bring awareness toBrain Cancer.
Emma is a brave Fighter! For over five years she has been Battling Brain Cancer. At the age of 12 she was diagnosed with a Malignant Glioblastoma brain tumor that was immediately resected. Her brain surgeon recommended her for treatment at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, TN. She had regrowth and a second resection a year ago.
In March of this year, 2014, we were again informed that there was regrowth. This time however, surgical removal could not be safely accomplished. We were devastated to again hear bad news. She was eligible for another round of radiation therapy that was completed in May.
While radiation did reduce the primary tumor, there continues to be growth in other areas of the brain.
It is with heavy hearts that we find ourselves waiting until Emma’s 18th birthday in December to be eligible for adult treatment options. Emma has Cushings Syndrome, headaches and pressure, and occasional motor loss in her left side from the growing tumor and other challenges related to this terrible disease.
Through it all she has remained strong, Hopeful, and generally upbeat. She loves her family and friends and tries to lead as normal a life as her limitations will allow.
This is her senior year of high school and although she is homebound she is still taking a full load that includes three Advanced Diploma classes. She loves the challenge of her school work and is a talented artist when she has the strength to create new works.
To ether, with our Amazing support system of family, friends, and Team Emma Warriors we are able to continue the Fight. Some days are good days, and on other days we are satisfied to place one foot in front of the other until we finally end the day. But we are never alone!
We are reminded of many others fighting this same dreadful disease and know that our hearts are with them also.
Hope brings light into the darkest room, and we know we
could never make it through without the Love & Support of so many Wonderful
people! You! Our Heroes! Team Emma!
