Cancer kind of sucks the childhood out of your kid, says JaNett Hill, whose daughter Elliott, 4, was diagnosed with a kidney cancer known as Wilms tumor that spread to her lungs.
Elliott, who lives in Georgetown, was diagnosed in January 2020 and went through treatments at McLane Children s Hospital in Temple, including removal of her right kidney and part of her lung as well as chemotherapy and radiation. Her final surgery was in October.
Now she will have scans done every three months to look for any signs of the cancer returning. We are blessed we are in this portion of the journey, Hill says.
