Dana-Farber Helped Leilani's Family Defy Cancer
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute is a global leader in cancer research and treatment, dedicated to reducing the burden of cancer for adults and children through scientific inquiry, clinical care, education, community engagement, and advocacy.
Families like Leilani’s are turned upside down when they hear the words “You have cancer.” Leilani was diagnosed with cancer at just 4 months old, after her father, Chris, discovered a lump in her neck during bath time. The shocking revelation of multiple tumors was devastating for their family.
Hope emerged when they arrived at Dana-Farber in Boston, Mass. Thanks to the compassionate care she has received in Dana-Farber's Jimmy Fund Clinic, serving our pediatric patients, Leilani's tumors have significantly shrunk after 10 rounds of chemotherapy. While her journey to remission continues, the path to a cancer-free future is clearer than ever.
