Anna Banana

Welcome to Anna "Banana's" webpage!

Anna was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma stage 2 (a solid tumor cancer) on 11/28/02 at 9 weeks old. Anna "Banana" is one of the more fortunate of kids b/c of diagnosis before age one.

She had an intrathoracic mass growing around her left lung, pressing on her bronchus. It was found by accident through a chest x-ray for a cough. The primary treatment was surgery with over 95% of the tumor removed on 11/28/02. She now has no evidence of disease!

Anna struggles with chronic sleep disturbance caused by a limb movement disorder and night terrors. She has made great strides with meds and removal of adenoids and tonsils. She loves to study the world around her and is a loving, outgoing, curious & passionate 7 year old!! As I like to tell her, she is our gift from God and I thank him for her and her awesome big brother Lucas everyday!

Neuroblastoma and all cancers must be beaten, keep the faith always!
