I will be honest and say that I tried to find more info on this type of cancer but it's complicated because it's different for everyone.
So for this week's entry, I am going to use what I know of Payton, this
week's Child of the Week, as well as the Birthday girl 5/25 (So
excited!)
So here we go:
Payton Martinez was born last
year on 5/25. When she was nearly 6 months old she was diagnosed with
undifferentiated soft tissue sarcoma in her abdomen. This cancer is
prevalent in that area. Two tumors one 13 cm and the other 6 cm were
taking over her body. The 6 cm was also wrapping around her ovary.
They acted fast and she had a major abdominal surgery that left her in
ICU for 4 days. The surgeons removed the 6cm tumor as well as her left
ovary and fallopian tube but they couldn't completely remove the 13 cm
tumor and were only able to remove about 90% of it.
Right now
she is doing chemotherapy. It's pretty complicated since she does chemo
once a week as an outpatient at Dell Children facility where she lives
and then on the 3rd week of every month she gets admitted into the
hospital for 3 different chemo drugs.
Recently in February of
this year she had an MRI done and they found no cancer left in her body
but she still has to do, as of now at least 8 more weeks of chemo. If
she is still cancer free then no radiation therapy afterward. But if she
does, then there will be radiation treatments.
I have to say,
from reading her page and reading the progress on this baby. She is so
positive and so happy. And her mom stays so positive. I cant even
imagine how she does it, but she does. I know that I am believing in
prayer that God will give Payton for her birthday and cancer free bill
of health for the rest of her life.
Please take a look at this angel's page:

Thanks for reading!
