Here is now Karris Story:

Karris is a 13 year old who's left eye started bleeding for no reason and she would get headaches and eye pain in that eye. I took her to several doctors and none of them could tell me why her eye was bleeding. So then the vision started becoming blurry and I thought that maybe she just needed glasses. I made a eye doctor's appointment and her eye lost all vision, but the bleeding had stopped.
So then they sent us to two different specialist to see why there was no vision and after several tests including a MRI they found a tumor and sent a biopsy to see what it was and it came back as cancer (RhabdoMyoSarcoma)
She's went through chemotherapy treatments and has completed radiation treatments. The tumor has shrunk 62% so far, but all the chemo makes her sick and causes her to have to go to the hospital.
Karris will be in the hospital all week for chemo treatments.
Here are some facts about this type of cancer:
Rhabdomyosarcoma is a type of sarcoma. Sarcoma is cancer of soft tissue (such as muscle), connective tissue (such as tendon or cartilage), or bone. Rhabdomyosarcoma usually begins in muscles that are attached to bones and that help the body move.
Needless to say as shown above  Karris already lost all her beautiful hair through chemo.
