GEMMA<br />
Age 4 | Glioma Astrocytoma<br />
Little Warrior Gemma was diagnosed two and a half years ago with<br />
an inoperable Glioma Astrocytoma tumor. Over the course of those<br />
years she has received, 1 biopsy surgery, which took away her ability to<br />
walk and left her left side incredibly weak, 1 year of weekly chemo, 9<br />
months of bi-weekly/monthly Avastin, 9 months of watch and wait,<br />
2 eye surgeries 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!<br />
