Bella loves to smile and laugh. She loves food, Minnie Mouse, and the song baby shark. She dances as soon as she hears it or any other music. She also loves to grab everything she sees and loves playtime and peek-a-boo.
Bella was diagnosed with Retinoblastoma at 9 days old. I (her mom) had retinoblastoma and knew that she had a 50% chance of carrying the gene for this cancer. I got her screened very early on and that is when she was diagnosed with bilateral retinoblastoma.
Her diagnosis and all of the treatments has given me a lot of anxiety. Bella has had five rounds of chemotherapy, nine months of laser therapy, three rounds of cryotherapy, and enucleation of the eye. Bella has experienced total loss of vision in one eye and I am unsure of how much vision she has left in her remaining eye.
Bella has been fighting since she was born but she is so strong! She is now 10 months old and is doing awesome!
