My Story

December 14th 2017, after multiple hospital stays, misdiagnosis, failed medications, and a very in depth and scary surgery our little girl, our precious baby girl, was diagnosed with an extremely rare salivary gland cancer called Myoepithelial Carcinoma ex Pleomorphic Adenoma. This cancer is rarely seen in adults and yet to be seen in a baby according to her oncologist. We are devastated, angry, and heartbroken. What we do know is, we refuse to sit by and let this take out daughter's life.
