Ashlee D.

Location: Roseville, MI, US

Ashlee fought cancer starting in June 2007 with a lump on her shoulder. After much testing we found out it was Synovial Sarcoma. She did 8 rounds of chemo, 10 hours in surgery and 6 week of radiation and was "cancer free" in June 2008. In December 2008 she complained of pain in her left side. We found out on January 5, 2009 that she had cancer again and she only had 6 months to a year to live. She passed away on November 15, 2009.

Ashlee was an amazing young girl that loved life. She went through lots of pain and suffering enduring procedures, tests, pokes and being sick always with a smile on her face. We went out to Maryland for some experimental treatment and she did extra blood work and other tests to help them understand how the treatment was helping or not helping.
