When Emily Freeman was only 13 years old, she was diagnosed with a non-germinomatous germ cell tumor located on the hypothalamus and optic nerve in her brain. Texas Children's Cancer Center drafted a treatment plan for Emily including 6 rounds of chemotherapy and 33 days of proton radiation. Emily suffered side effects from the treatments, but she never quit fighting. Through the Purple Songs Can Fly program at Texas Children's Cancer Center, Emily recorded three songs and had a chance to perform a song at Carnegie Hall in New York City. On December 22, 2009, Emily crossed the finish line of treatment. She just celebrated 3 years cancer free.

When Kaylee T. was just 9-years-old, she was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer – a 10 centimeter germ cell tumor (about the size of a softball) that had spread to the abdominal wall. With help from surgery and four intense rounds of chemotherapy at Texas Children’s Cancer Center®, Kaylee was later declared cancer-free. Kaylee is now a spunky 4th grader who loves ice skating, Girl Scouts and tracking the weather. To learn more about Texas Children’s Cancer Center, visit texaschildrens.org/cancer.
