Hello, my name is Chloe. I love to dance, sing and entertain. I love reading, math and art. I love shopping, dressing up and doing “girly” things. I love cats, dogs and especially monkeys.
I never knew what a brain tumor was until November 7, 2006. After going to the doctor one day and having my first MRI, I found out that I had one. The doctors said that they could not take it out with surgery. I saw many doctors and tried different medicines, but nothing made my tumor go away. During the year after my diagnosis, I went through 31 radiation treatments, 8 MRIs, two months of a phase I study, one month of chemotherapy, a whole lot of doctor visits and more blood draws than I can keep track of. Although I wasn’t able to beat this tumor, I hope that the doctors will find a way to help other kids beat this tumor. In my last year, I was able to meet many wonderful people and know that they will continue to fight in my honor. I will live on through their journey to find a cure and to help other families like mine.
Love, Chloe
