Cancer's Youngest Survivors

Most children look foward to school, playing on the playground, and snacktime. Ellie Edwards didn't. She looked foward to getting cured from pedriactic cancer, and getting out of All Childrens Hospital. Ellie is in 6th grade now, and is cured from cancer. She goes in once every 6 months for a check up but other then that, she relies on the steps and help that the Can Survive Clinic at All Childrens gave her to keep her and her family well. "Once we're less worried about their disease coming back, we can focus on 'OK, you've been cured, what do we need to do to keep you healthy for the rest of your life?"- says Ellie's Doctor,  Dr. Kelly Sawczyn
