Someone once told me to see Ava is to love her. The sparkle in her eye's shows her true spirit. Ava is a strong willed, fun loving girly girl.
Ava was diagnosed with a brain tumor called Medulloblastoma on Jan 11, 2008. The tumor was surgically removed on Jan 16, 2008.
Ava underwent 9 rounds of chemo and prior to starting radiation on Jan 28, 2009 a new inoperable tumor was found. Ava underwent 31 rounds of high dose radiation to her full brain and spine, 3 rounds of high dose chemo and 3 stem cell transplants. After 20 months of treatment Ava beat the monster and today she is in remission. Please support St Baldricks so other kids will have a fighting chance at life.
