Who CAN Helps

Lily, age 5 diagnosed with Medulloblastoma at the age of two. Lily is the youngest of six children in her blended family. She enjoys singing and dancing and loves anything Disney or Peppa Pig. She was diagnosed after her daycare called her parents to tell them that Lily had been vomiting. She went home and was fine, then began vomiting off and on again and having balance issues. Mom quickly made an appointment and took Lily to the doctor. The neurologist ordered an MRI and discovered a two-centimeter tumor that had to be removed. Following the surgery, a chemotherapy regimen began. After Chemo was finished, Lily’s doctor discovered the cancer cells had spread to her spine. Lilly had to complete an additional six weeks of daily radiation. She continues to battle this disease, often finding herself staying overnight at the hospital because her blood cell counts are too low. CAN assisted the family by paying toward their mortgage to ensure they are able to stay in their home. Lily and her family were also able to benefit from CAN’s annual Beach Bash at the Naples Beach Club this past summer.
