Stand Up To Cancer

This is Debbie Quesenberry. Our daughter Pearce was on Stand Up To Cancer. Just thought I would give you an update and maybe you can pass it along to everyone else involved with SU2C.

Pearce completed her fourth and final treatment in early October. Her last round of chemo was horrible; Pearce was terribly ill. After completing treatment, Pearce had an MRI. That MRI showed a new area of concern. Needless to say, we were terribly upset. The doctors told us if the area of concern did turn out to be another tumor, they would not treat it. We spent the next three weeks in a complete panic waiting for the next MRI.

Pearce had the MRI on November 11th. The doctors called yesterday to tell us her MRI was clear and the area of concern was gone! Pearce Quesenberry has completed treatment and is NED: No Evidence of Disease.

We can't wait to come back next year as SURVIVORS from this horrible monster. We are having a party for Pearce -- we are celebrating her "Kicking Cancer's Butt!"

Hi, I'm Pearce Q. I participated in the Stand Up To Cancer event in September. It was so inspirational to see all the survivors. I had gone through 31 radiation treatments and four rounds of aggressive chemo. When I heard stories about survivors' journeys it made me feel good. It gave me strength to push through all the hard times.

I would like to thank everyone who donated and everyone who made this event possible. I gained so much hope when I found out how many people had donated. I know that one day cancer will be nothing and no one will ever have to suffer again. I had a great time and can't wait to come back next year as a survivor.
