Rosie M

Rosie was diagnosed with AT/RT at 11 months old.  She had a gross resection in July 2019.  She then completed 6 months of induction chemotherapy followed by 32 fractions of proton radiation followed by 10 months of chemotherapy.  

After completing her therapy, Rosie was NED. Sadly 6 weeks later, Rosie's cancer returned.  

Rosie had another surgery, but about 30% of her tumor remains.  She has been doing well on the MEMMAT protocol.  She had some small regrowth in October (2021) and completed 30 more fractions of radiation.  

Rosie has such an amazing spirit and lovable personality.  She loves seeing all her favorite nurses and doctors and giving lots of hugs.  Rosie loves dancing, music, stickers, spending lots of time with family, friends and therapists.  Her new favorite thing is jumping waves in the ocean with her two sisters.
