Despite battling osteosarcoma with incredible courage, Krysty's journey has taken a difficult turn. Previous treatments, including chemotherapy, radiation, and lung surgeries, have not halted the progression of her disease.
In a glimmer of hope, Krysty was recently accepted into an innovative T-cell therapy trial at MD Anderson in Houston. Her cells were harvested in August, and the infusion is scheduled for early October. Until then, she continues chemotherapy to keep the tumor at bay.
The toll of these treatments is immense, leaving Krysty with various pains and side effects. Yet, her spirit remains unbroken. When not in the hospital, she attends school and cherishes time with loved ones, striving for normalcy amidst the storm.
Please keep Krysty in your thoughts and prayers as she embarks on this new phase of treatment. We're all cheering for her, and sending strength her way. Please keep praying for her healing.
