When Edie Gilger was 2 years old, frontline treatment for neuroblastoma failed. Her family was faced with a choice: more toxic treatments that might not work and if they did, they’d leave Edie with myriad long-term side effects, or try an experimental targeted treatment, funded by Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation.
Her family choose the latter.
Edie turns 15 years old this June, celebrating over 10 years of survivorship. She is doing it without the long-term side effects that years of high-dose chemotherapy and radiation can bring.
All thanks to Alex Scott.
