Just days after her
first birthday, Alexa was diagnosed with an aggressive
form of cancer. She was given a 20% chance for survival.
Fortunately, Alexa was enrolled in a clinical trial
and for the next three years underwent surgery, chemotherapy,
and radiation. After two years of experimental treatments,
her cancer is in a stable state! Although there are
side effects from her treatment, Alexa is a beautiful
girl with a big, bright smile and an amazing attitude.
She is in the third grade and loves math and reading,
helping others, playing the piano, and having fun with
all of her friends. At age eight, she is so full of
life.
