Biography
Taylor was born June 11, 1995. Always a healthy baby and full of energy and fun. Taylor has two older sisters, Christy born in 1982 and Heather born in 1986. Taylor has been involved in twirling, she took baton for three years. Taylor was also on the swim team until her diagnosis. Swimming was a full time hobby, that is what lead us to her dignosis. Taylor was swimming 5 days a week, and her arm began to hurt. After a couple of months of on and off pain, thinking it was growing pains, we ended up taking her to a orthopedic surgeon. Taylor was referred to a Pediatric Oncologist at Children's Hospital for scans and testing. On Sept 5, 2006 Taylor was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma in her right arm. Taylor had 10 months of chemo therapy, complete reconstruction of her right arm including a donor bone. Taylor remanied cancer free for a week short of 18 months. We found out she had relapsed with a tumor in her right lung in Nov of 2008. Taylor began her treament again in Dec of 2008 after a lung surgery to remove the tumor. Taylor will continue chemotherapy until the end of Sept 2009. Taylor is a strong young lady and with the knowledge of her doctors and the prayers from so many friends she will again be and remain cancer free.
