Caitlyn Gara Cancer Journey

Hi!

On Monday, October 3, 2022, Cait, 14 and a high school freshman, went for an ultrasound of the abdomen, for what was supposed to be the first of a series of GI tests to figure out stomach and digestive issues that had been getting progressively worse. What they found were multiple tumors in her abdomen. Pathology showed they have a very rare type of cancer called desmoplastic small round cell tumors (DSRCT). There are only 200 known cases since the discovery of this type of cancer in 1989.

We appreciate all the prayers and support we have received.
