  6. What a sweet little girl. May you have a long and happy life Ava!!! I couldn’t help but smile listening to her story and what she had to say! A little ray of sunshine ☀️ Her mother is a great advocate.

    One of the reasons childhood cancer uses outdated meds is because medical research on children is extremely frowned upon. We have to create an ethical way to green light these resources. A lot of the people make it out to be profit based, or “big pharma”, but that’s a gross misrepresentation and a small piece of a larger puzzle. Research is at the core, it’s also an issue of ethics — stringent ethical boards have highlighted the multitude of moral implications of testing exclusively pediatric drugs. Adults going through initial drug trials can go through A LOT. Putting children through that is a moral dilemma and science is split on what to do — use adults as initial phase of a drug, gather tons of data, and then hope it translates well to children is what the route currently is.

    4. Thanks for adding more information about the ethical issues that come w/ developing & testing new cancer drugs for children. The pharma companies who want to test a promising treatment for a childhood cancer also don’t get the government funding that drugs for adults get. Something needs to change to break through these barriers. I wonder if President Biden’s “Cancer Moon Shot” would be a place to start. I believe that he cares deeply about helping people of all ages. It’s worth looking into.❤️‍🩹🌷💜🌺❤️🌸💚🙏

  14. I been through chemo and i know how hard it was. I was 23 when i went in for the treatment and even I at that time wanted to go home too… I’m happy to see that you’re still able to keep that beautiful smile after such an unfortunate event. But because of it, you are now one of the strongest people and nothing can stop you from doing what you love now. Stay strong and stay healthy. You are an inspiration for everyone going through the same thing. Especially for older people like me. #Avastrong❤

  16. It always tears me apart to see children like her being forced to endure things that no child should ever have to go thru. I hope & pray to God that little Ava can win her battle & live a long healthy life free of that horrific illness🙏

    2. Pray to what god? Wasn’t it this god of yours that gave this innocent child the cancer?! You’re ridiculous!!!!

    4. @Robert Telarket God doesn’t “give” any body an illness. You obviously don’t believe in any kind of deity so why get testy? Calm down you’re ridiculous.

  17. My son had cancer when he was 3. We lived in the hospital over 5 months. My son turned 46 this past May. The treatments are out dated. I pray they find a cure for cancer. God bless this little girl.

    1. Your son is the same age as my older son. I cannot imagine what that was like for you. Thank the Lord he recovered and has reached this age!! God bless and keep all those suffering from cancer, and especially children. It is a wicked condition, and our legislators need to recognize the horrors it wreaks upon families of children who are its victims, and invest many more millions in research.

  19. I’m less than 3 minutes in and I’m already bawling. That little waif is so beautiful, and everything, every expression on her innocent little face, reminds me of my daughter when she was that age.
