My 13 year old daughter, Kadi, was diagnosed April 2019 at age 10 with osteoblastic osteosarcoma (bone cancer). She endured 28 weeks of intense chemotherapy and had 2/3 of her fibula removed, because the perennial nerve was wrapped around the tumor it had to be severed and she now has drop foot. Unfortunately it wasn’t in the cards for Kadi to remain cancer free and she relapsed aggressively only 3.5 months after treatment ended. June 2020 she started an even more grueling chemo regimen for chondroblastic osteosarcoma in relapse, metastatic stage 4. After 6 months of chemo and a 13 hour surgery to remove half of her pelvis and replace it with donor bone she was deemed NED (no evidence of disease). Because she relapsed so quickly, the cancer changed subtypes and it went to lymph nodes as well her team at the U of M have said she’ll undoubtedly relapse again.
Recently we got the news that Kadis kidneys are failing and she’s having a surgery to biopsy both kidneys next week. Kidneys that are failing from chemo damage aren’t eligible for transplant and options are limited. We also got the news that her pelvic allograft (donor bone) is failing and her hip joint is rapidly deteriorating which means she needs another major surgery and one of the options as hindquarter amputation.
We are asking for help once again in this journey so I am able to pay our bills as I can only work minimally. We don’t know what the future holds for Kadi girl
but with your help the future will be brighter!
God Bless
