GEMMA<br />
Age 4 | Glioma Astrocytoma<br />
<strong>Little</strong> <strong>Warrior</strong> Gemma was diagnosed 2.5 years ago with an inoperable<br />
Glioma Astrocytoma tumor. Over the course of those years she has<br />
received, 1 biopsy surgery, which took away her ability to walk and left<br />
her left side incredibly weak, 1 year of weekly Chemo, 9 months of biweekly/monthly<br />
Avastin, 9 months of watch and wait, 2 eye surgeries<br />
and countless scans.<br />
However, recently Gemma had her port removed and was able to ring<br />
the bell for the end of treatment!<br />
Gemma’s mom writes, “It’s the end... at least for now, and that is good<br />
enough for us. God has been with us every single step of this journey.<br />
Through the highs and the lows... every single step. If you ever wonder<br />
how you would do when you are faced with a situation that just seems<br />
too tough...just look up and know how much God loves you.<br />
HE will get you through it all. We are so grateful for Gemma’s<br />
progress and her strength and we are looking forward to a happy<br />
and healthy 2017.”<br />
Gemma loves firetrucks, garbage trucks and the color red and is her<br />
family’s little warrior!
