Please join us in wishing Emma Thompson a very happy 13th birthday!
When Emma was just 13 months old, she was diagnosed with anaplastic ependymoma, a rare type of brain cancer. After the diagnosis, she had emergency surgery at C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital to remove the tumor. After the surgery, she went through six months of chemotherapy.
Four years later, the tumor came back. Emma fought bravely and had another successful surgery, followed by 33 rounds of radiation treatment. She beat her cancer again.
Last month, Emma had a routine MRI that showed she is still cancer-free! We are so excited to see her continue to grow and thrive.
