Autumn Arlene was born with what everyone agreed was an adorable bottom lip, yet Dr's told us to monitor it throughout the first year of her life. Shortly after her first birthday we all noticed she had not "grown into it." Countless Dr's visits later Autumn was scheduled for her first MRI. That same evening our hearts were shattered when we received the call saying she needed a biopsy the very next day. Our world came crashing down in November 2016 when Autumn was officially diagnosed with a Fibromatosis Soft Tissue Sarcoma. The placement of Autumn's tumor at this point is very involved and her team of Dr's are unable to operate without shrinking it first. and so began our battle... She immediately started an oral Chemotherapy. This form of treatment was done at home every night for 3 months. We had some very bad days in between, but she trooped through. She kept smiling through all the boo-boo's and weekly trips to Cohens Children's Hospital for blood-work to make sure her blood counts remained good and that her kidney and liver functions were keeping up with her little body. She did amazing. Her first scan was set for March 2, 2017 and we prayed with everything inside of us that this form of treatment was working and the tumor was shrinking, or at the very least remained the same. We picked up every lucky penny, never stepped on a crack, used up every birthday cake wish, our thanksgiving turkey wishbone, shooting stars, you name it whatever we could do, we did! However once again, our family's hearts were shattered when we received the news that not only did the treatment not work but the tumor had grown significantly. Autumn will now have a mediport surgically placed in her to receive weekly, more aggressive IV Chemotherapy treatment. She will receive treatment once a week for the first 6 months and then continue on at once every other week for the second 6 month period.
