Thank you to Dr. Bri and the entire Vandy Medical team for helping us get to this place! Caroline will continue to get various quarterly check-ups and tests at Vanderbilt Children's Hospital for the next couple of years.

Caroline’s clinical trial drug (DFMO) officially ended Sunday night. For 2 straight years, she took 6 pills per day...hard to imagine that she swallowed 4,380 pills...especially considering this was in addition to the 18 months of her standard treatment protocol for Neuroblastoma. 

She is now officially both cancer-free and medication-free!!! It’s surreal to think Caroline has hit every mark we’d hoped for since she was diagnosed in 2017.

For this particular milestone (the clinical trial ending), we’d especially like to thank the amazing leaders at Beat Childhood Cancer Foundation: Pat, Dr. Sholler, Kyle, Savie, AJ, and the entire team. Their tireless research and clinical trials, like DFMO, are literally saving lives. Click here to support their efforts, which are mostly funded by donations.

We’re beyond grateful to the community that has surrounded us over the past 3.5 years; we truly would not have been able to manage without you. Thank you, thank you!

Celebrating the end of DFMO: 4,380 pills with an "Orange You Glad This Is Over" theme, since Caroline wasn't allowed to have citrus while on the clinical trial.
