My daughter is a PRINCESS and a force of nature. She is fearless!
Mollie was diagnosed with cancer after taking her to the ER for what we thought was appendicitis. She had fever, vomiting, and abdominal pain. An initial cat scan revealed an 18cm mass on her right kidney. It was bleeding. It probably ruptured as a result of either gymnastics or playing on her slip and slide.
We were transported by ambulance to Children’s Hospital of Alabama. There we were met by members of oncology and surgery. She was given a blood transfusion and two days later she had a port surgically placed to start chemo. She was diagnosed with Sarge 4 Wilm’s Tumor in her right kidney. She endured 24 weeks of chemo, 6 radiation treatments, and lost her right kidney.
Mollie has tremendous medical anxiety that has gotten worse. The worst thing for her I think was her hair falling out. She had beautiful long light blond hair. A beautiful princess. It took a lit for her to get her confidence back.
As a family, everything has changed. I am much more protective and Mollie is much slower to warm up to people. My husband and I have decided to keep our circle small.
