Georgianna: Liver Transplant
At 2 years old, Georgianna (Georgie) was diagnosed with hepatic angiosarcoma, a rare form of liver cancer. The 正澳门六合彩开奖记录聽liver transplant team, led by Stephen Dunn, MD, worked with Georgie鈥檚 family and the oncology team to make sure a liver transplant would mean the end of cancer for this sweet girl.聽
Because livers regenerate, people can donate pieces of their liver to grow in the recipient鈥檚 body. Georgie鈥檚 aunt donated a piece of her liver without a second thought. After Georgie鈥檚 liver transplant, she only needed two more rounds of chemotherapy. Four years later, this strong, happy 6-year-old is enjoying the childhood she almost didn't have. She loves going to school every day, meeting new people, and has even taken up dance and gymnastics. Most importantly, she鈥檚 cancer-free.
