In October all of that changed.n October 2005, she was diagnosed with advanced stage four undifferentiated sarcoma, a rare cancer of the soft tissues that only affects fifty people worldwide, annually. Statistically, only one person in ten survives this type of cancer.Chelsey, upon receiving her diagnosis, told her doctor that she “would be that one person in ten.”In February after three months of chemotherapy treatment, Chelsey had record setting 27 hour marathon surgery at Texas Children’s Cancer Center. Ninety five percent of her tumors were removed. Only two remained in her body post surgery after four weeks of Radiation, only one remained. Continued radiation treatments did not eliminate the last tumor.Scans show that her previous tumors had returned and there was an emergence of new tumors. Nothing more could be done.Chelsey received her Angel’s Wings on December 9, 2006Childhood cancer is the leading cause of non-accidental death in children, and the cause remains unknown. 43 children a day are diagnosed with cancer. Now is the time to take action to help end this disease. The more funds we raise, the sooner we can end this fight.
