Raegan's mom
Our experts specialize in treating aggressive pediatric cancers. Raegan’s team built a plan designed to treat the cancer and protect her future. Chemotherapy and immunotherapy helped shrink the tumor before surgery. Then came tandem bone marrow transplants and proton therapy, a precise form of radiation with fewer side effects that also spares healthy tissue.
During surgery, our expert surgical oncology team removed 95% of the tumor while preserving Raegan’s kidney function, balancing life-saving care with her long-term quality of life.
Today, Raegan is cancer-free and thriving. Her family is forever grateful for the care at Cincinnati Children’s that made that future possible.
