Olivia was diagnosed with a rare brain tumor (ETMR) at the age of 3. She underwent a 9 hr brain surgery the day after she was diagnosed. The surgeons were unsure if she would even wake up from the surgery. They warned us of many complications that could take place due to the intensity of the surgery. Thankfully, Olivia walked away with no issues! Following that she went through 30 rounds of radiation, induction chemo, and then high dose chemo with stem cell rescue. Olivia just hit her 1 year mark of being cancer free and done with treatment. She is now 5 yrs old and just started kindergarten. She was lucky to experience minimal side effects even after receiving such intense treatment. She continues to amaze her medical team and provide hope for other brain tumor patients out there!
