Whitney was diagnosed with Ewings Sarcoma Wednesday May 20, 2004. She was given 8 months of intensive chemotherapy, and 31 Radiation treatments. In February of 2005
she completed her treatment and remained cancer free until August 2006. On August 2nd we received results
from a spinal tap that her cancer has relapsed and Ewings cell were found in her spinal fluid.
She is now receiveing chemotherapy to
fight off this teribble disease again. She goes in for treatment twice a week to receive chemo in an ommaya reservoir
that has been placed on the top of her head. The chemo goes directly into her spinal fluid. She also goes in every
21 days to receive Cyclophosphamide and Vincristine through her port which was placed in her chest.
