Antoinette is smart and sassy. She loves SuperGirl and spending time with her little brother. She is one of 6 children. She loves to read and play Minecraft.
She was diagnosed in December 2018 with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG). We noticed something wasn’t right when she started to drag her right leg when she walked. Her speech became slurred and her right arm and hand became weak.
Antoinette received five and a half weeks of radiation and she has been doing chemotherapy every 2 weeks. Her tumor has affected her mobility. She is in a wheelchair now and can not walk.
Even though her cancer is terminal upon diagnosis, Antoinette is a fighter and she is always positive about her situation. She always says that she is going to walk again and her tumor is going to shrink. She is my SuperGirl!
