At four years old, Caroline Wrathall was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma, a deadly form of cancer that forms when special nerves cells called neuroblasts, which usually mature into nerve cells, instead become cancer cells. Neuroblastoma usually forms in the tissue of the adrenal glands, and Caroline's began developing in her kidney. Almost 90% or neuroblastoma is found in children younger than five, and the survival rate is low, but after high-dose chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy, Caroline beat her diagnosis and now has her life back. Caroline was diagnosed on Halloween, so today as we celebrate the holiday, we also honor Caroline and the incredible journey she and her family have been through.💛🎗
