March Patient Story: Sweet Jane

 

Three-year-old girls should be looking for leprechauns and pots of gold on St. Patrick’s Day, not receiving a cancer diagnosis. Jane was diagnosed with a rare kidney cancer that had spread to her lymph nodes, lungs, and spine on St. Patrick's Day in 2017. Less than a week later, she received two blood transfusions.

 

When friends asked how they could help, the family encouraged people to donate blood and platelets. One third of all blood donations go to patients of all ages fighting cancer. When Jane received a blood transfusion, she called it “super blood.”

 

Today, Jane is now eight-years cancer free and officially cured! To celebrate Jane and children like her, make a March donation in her honor!
