I was diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma on April 1, 2013 when I was just 3 years old. I am now 10 years old and finished chemotherapy in February 2014. Two months later my scans showed no evidence of disease and I am now in my sixth year of remission! I don't remember much of my cancer journey, but I do remember always getting needles. I don't like needles and I wish there was a way that we never had to get them. It has been a long, scary and tough journey, but I proved to be a fighter just like my Daddy, but stronger! His name is Aaron and he reminds me of a superhero even though he always says I'm the hero.
I have a little brother, his name is Ayden and he is 8 years old. He is my best friend, but he always wants my toys! My parents say I have to share so sometimes I let him play with my special toys. I also have a new little brother, Amori, who is just 2 years old.
My mom's name is Grisel and she is such a fun mom! I am grateful to have them all in my life. Our family motto is to never ever give up!
