Emily's Battle

Welcome to Emily's Web Page. Emily was diagnosed March 21, 2002 with Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma. It is a form of cancer that is normally found in children. There are only about 250 new cases diagnosed in the United States per year. Emily has completed a 42 week chemotherapy protocol and 4 1/2 weeks of radition to her lungs and shoulder area. We have created this page in attempt to keep everyone updated on Emily's condition and progress. And most importantly... LIFE AFTER CHEMO!!!!

Wow. It's been over a year since I've updated this site. Emily is doing great! She's has about a month of first grade left before summer break. She loves school! She has been done with treatment for over four years now. Her last scans were in January and they were all clear. Alyssa and Brandon are both doing good. Alyssa is 9 now and Brandon is 3. Alyssa will be going into fourth grade in the fall and Brandon will be starting preschool. I hope this update finds you all doing well.
