Scarlett was diagnosed with a tumor at only 12 weeks gestation. She was then born at 27 weeks due to how big the tumor was. She was then diagnosed with yolk sac carcinoma at only 4 weeks old. She has been fighting ever since.
At only 12 weeks gestation, our doctor noticed a tumor at the end of our baby’s spine. We lived in Nevada at the time. Due to the severity of her health, causing her heart to be enlarged, fetal hydrops & much more, we ended up in labor & delivery in Colorado. After a long 5 month NICU stay & two surgeries – one to remove her tailbone – we got to home to Nevada, who did not offer enough care, we ended up in California to receive better care. When we found out her tumors had come back and she was in kidney failure. She had been fighting since she was born. But she’s still a very happy girl.
She’s been through 4 tumor removal surgeries for her total of 8 tumors. She’s had a g tube surgery & Fundoplication surgery. She’s currently going through chemotherapy.
This has changed our family’s life from selling our house & moving for better care to my husband taking a lot of time off work to be present for Scarlett and her two siblings.
