Marvelous Maddie

In April of 2021 after 7 years of remission, Maddie was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. A Wilms tumor returned on her left kidney which spread up her inferior vena-cava and had also metastasized to her liver. Things moved very quickly Maddie spent three weeks in the hospital and immediately started an intense chemotherapy regimen to stop the cancer from spreading any further. She recently underwent an aggressive 13-hour surgery to remove what remained of her left kidney, a 7-inch tumor that had grown on her left kidney, half of her liver, as well as the tumor in her inferior vena cava. After recovery from the surgery, she will resume her chemo regimen and will also undergo radiation treatment.

Through all of this Maddie has continued to smile and keep a positive attitude. She has definitely had some really hard days but she has been so incredibly strong and we are so proud of her. All of her friends, family, and others that care about her reaching out and sharing well wishes and encouragement has been a big part of that. Maddie has a smile to share and continues to bring joy to those around her. Please help Maddie and her family during this difficult time.
