Elizabeth, her mom, and her grandma
all have this disease which causes tumors. Elizabeth has a cancerous
tumor in the middle of her brain, where it is inoperable. She also
had tumors on her leg, but they were surgically removed in August.
And there is a tumor growing form her ribs back to her spine. Chemo
should help that one. If not, another surgery will be required.
She is very tiny and unable to gain weight. If this continues, she
will need a G-tube so she can receive nutrition all night as she
sleeps, in addition to eating during the day.
On september 13, 2001 she had a tumor on her leg removed.
Elizabeth has a medical fund set up here:
