💛 Sending All Our Love to Our Sweet Lillie! 💛
Our CDD family has a very special dancer who has been fighting a BIG battle.
This past March, our sweet Lillienne was diagnosed with high-risk neuroblastoma, an aggressive childhood cancer. What initially seemed like growing pains quickly turned into something else. Since then, Lillie has endured countless hospital stays, major surgeries, six rounds of intense chemotherapy and immunotherapy, and more challenges than any little girl should have to experience. But through it all, Lillie has continued to show incredible strength, courage, and determination.
Recently, Lillie and her family traveled to NYC to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, where an amazing surgical team was able to remove the remaining cancer-involved lymph nodes on October 2nd! We are so happy to share that Lillie is recovering beautifully and making incredible progress each day! While her journey is far from over, she will still have additional treatments ahead to help keep this cancer from returning.
To Lillie,
Your friends, teachers, and your entire CDD family love you more than words can express. We miss your beautiful face, your smile, and having you in the studio with us. You are so much more than a dancer to us. You are part of our family, and we are all cheering you on every single step of the way.
To the entire Newsom family, please know that you have an army of people behind you. We are sending you so much love, strength, support, and endless prayers. You are never fighting this battle alone.
