My Story

At the age of 2 1/2, Loretta was diagnosed with Juvenile Pilocytic Astrocytoma (JPA). A large mass was found in her brain stem that was pressing into her cerebellum. She was diagnosed and also treated for hydrocephalus at Galisano Children's Hospital in Rochester, NY. Currently, Loretta is continuing her treatment through Galisano Children's Hospital in Rochester, NY.
