Kaylee was a typical 9-year-old 3rd grader, when in March of 2019 she got diagnosed with a malignant 10-centimeter Germ Cell Tumor on her right ovary. Within a week she had surgery at Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston to remove the tumor and Kaylee’s right ovary. The surgery was a success, but unfortunately the cancer was found to have spread to her abdominal lining. Biopsy Stage 3A2 Ovarian Cancer. Each of the 4 rounds of Chemotherapy consisted of one week in the hospital for five days of infusions and then two weeks home to recover.
Kaylee fought her cancer like a champ and at the end on July 25th, 2019 she was able to ring the “End of Treatment” bell with a No Evidence of Disease (NED) diagnosis.
Kaylee and her mother, Kelly, spotted in our #OvarShine necklace, created “Totally Teal” with the motto “No one Fights Alone”. She and Kelly hope to inspire other women & girls, of all ages, by giving them a little reminder that they too are Brave, Beautiful & Strong, just as Kaylee was. As a part of the OvarEmbrace Program, together, they sew beautiful hand- made Chemo Care Bags with items OVARCOMERS can safely use while OVARCOMING ovarian cancer. “Totally Teal” is composed of the colors teal & gold as teal is the color of ovarian cancer and the gold represents childhood cancer. Kaylee continues to represent both! Based on her own experience while on chemotherapy, Kaylee created a list of essential items for the OvarEmbrace bag. - Comfortable & cozy blanket
- Water bottle for liquids to help stay hydrated
- Journal & pen in which to write your thoughts
- Chap Stick & lotion during chemotherapy if you experience dry skin issues
- Hand sanitizer & wipes to aid your compromised immune system
- A scarf to use as a head covering as you experience hair loss with treatments
- Lemon drops and ginger candies to help with nausea you might have
- Tissue to wipe your tears away
- Toothbrush, toothpaste & a toiletry bag to help with the bad taste chemo drugs leave in your mouth
- A wristband to remind you that you are Brave, Beautiful & Strong!
- A little note to tell you about Kaylee’s journey battling cancer
- Ovarian Cancer B.E.A.C.H. Symptom Card that you can share with everyone you know!
