St. Jude Patient of the Month: Ava
Our St. Jude Patient of the Month is Ava.
Ava's Story
Around Easter, 2022, Ava’s mom, Lakesha, noticed swelling on her daughter’s neck. At the pediatrician, bloodwork and an x-ray appeared normal.
But after a scan of Ava’s abdomen was performed, Lakesha received terrible news. Ava had neuroblastoma, a cancer that arises from nerve cells. It was Stage 4.
“It was the worst day,” said Ava. “Mom was crying. I was sad. I was scared.”
The hospital near their home in the Bahamas was not equipped to offer 6-year-old Ava treatment, so her doctor referred her to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital®
Ava’s mom is so thankful for St. Jude. She said, “When you arrive at S. Jude, you get the feeling that you are home. The doctors are so down to earth, and I know Ava is getting the best care.” Lakesha adds, St. Jude is hope, when other don’t seem to think there could be any way. IT’s a long road. It’s hard. But St. Jude has gotten us through it.”
