Welcome to Emily’s Home Page.

This Picture was take on Nov. 11th, 2006.

Emily was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma, a rare form of pediatric cancer, just before her 2nd birthday (July 2003).

Emily received her treatment at Memorial Sloan Kettering Hospital in New York City.

Unfortunately, towards the end of her N8 protocol treatment, Emily relapsed. On March 11, 2005, Emily had surgery to remove a tumor from her head.

She has undergone brain-specific 8H9 antibody and more radiation treatment at MSKCC.

She has completed her treatment since 2007. She has been doing very well. Our family is not very religious, but please keep Emily in your prayers.
