Brianna's a wide eyed three year old
and she's our Little Princess besides
She carries a purse like big girls do,
for phone talking she takes the prize

Pretty in pink, she sure is a doll
surrounded by Care Bears, wants them all
The Disney Princess' wish they could be
as sweet and adorable as our Brianna Marie

She looked for Nemo and found him one day
when out to Disney World she went to play
Mickey and Minnie, they were there too
we think she even found Whinnie The Pooh

And we are so glad you found her page
Brianna loves getting visitors everyday
Please stay a while and sign the book
and then come back often to have a look

Share with us as we watch Brianna grow
our Princess in pink from head to toe
With that winning smile from ear to ear
you're bound to fall in love with Brianna dear

Welcome to Brianna's Web Page !
It has been provided to keep
people updated about our Child.


Brianna has always been a happy little girl,
she's been through so much in the last year.
Brianna hadn't been using her legs for 2 months,
she had been using her arms and
dragging her legs behind her.


We took her to the Naval Hospital and the doctor said she was just being lazy cuz she had just gotten over being sick, and I asked for a referral
to take her to the Everett Children's Hospital. So on March 1st 2004 we took her to Everett, and the doctor checked her out and said that we needed to take her to the Children's Hospital in Seattle right away.
Well at this time we didn't have a car, we had taken the bus to get to the hospital we lived 4 hours away. Well the nurse borrowed the doctors car and drove us to the children's hospital, Brianna ended up getting tests done and we ended up staying the night there.


Two days later on March 3rd we found out our 15 month old had Stage 3 Neuroblastoma, she had a large right paravertebral mass extending from T4-T12. She had her first round of Chemo on March 4th, she had high dose chemo the first day because of where the tumor was located and how big it was. She had her second round of chemo on March 29th, her 3rd round was on April 4th and she had her last round of chemo on May 10th. Brianna has been through lots of little surgeries, and tons of scans. She had to go through physical therapy to get the use of her legs back.

If it wouldn't have been for Courtney
Brianna probably wouldn't be walking to this day.


In June Brianna was supposed to get her surgery to remove her tumor, we had the appointment all set up but then we got some sad news. On June 13th my husband's father passed away he only got to meet Brianna once, he died of Cancer. We ended up postponing the surgery so we could fly to New York for the funeral, it was a very sad day for my husband. Seeing as he lost his mom at 15, and then his father passes away of Cancer while our daughter is fighting her own cancer. When we got back home her surgery was scheduled for June 28th, and it was a successful day they removed 95% of her tumor. Brianna still has Neuroblastoma in her spinal canal, they have stopped all treatments right now we are doing scans every 6 months.


Primary Diagnoses
2 year old female with intermediate risk (stage 3) NB, now s/p completion of course 4 chemotherapy per A3961 CCG protocol (NOS) and 9 months post surgical resection.



Impression
Residual mass, stable. Most likely residual ganglioneuroma. No evidence of tumor progression based on restaging evaluation and clinical evaluation.
