Over the last two months, Elektra and her family's life has been forever changed by the discovery in early September. After her health and energy began to deteriorate rapidly, her mom who was at the time also 6 months pregnant took her to the hospital. After many tests, it was shown that Elektra had a massive tumor that was taking up much of her abdominal cavity. After more testing and biopsying of both kidneys, she was diagnosed with WILMS Tumor. She was admitted to the hospital and began chemotherapy shortly thereafter, after over a month she was released and able to return home. After a few weeks home, she faced her biggest hurdle surgery to remove the massive tumor. On November 2, she had the mass removed which meant she lost her kidney and part of her liver. She begins her 9 rounds of intensive chemotherapy and 12 days of radiation on November 28, the time which also covers her birthday which she faces with optimism and she stubbornness to be able to ring the bell for completing treatment.  This treatment plan means her mom who works remotely will need to use more unpaid leave to be able to support this strong and stubborn little girl. After changes to their insurance, many medications and procedures will not be covered, so we are raising funds to cover the cost of travel and treatment.
