Six-year-old Ana Ester shyly entered the room at the Broward Health Medical Center in Florida. The room was packed; her family was joined by doctors, nurses, and hospital staff. Even firefighters from Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue showed up, and they were all there for her. It can be very intimidating for a little kid to be the center of attention like this, but this was a big day, and Ana is a very brave little girl. So, like she's done for the last year and a half, she put whatever fear she had aside and she pushed forward. Ana has been through a lot, more than any child should have to endure. Ana had battled a rare form of cancer for over a year, and she won. Today was a day to celebrate.
Ana walked into that room and rang a ceremonial bell, marking her last chemotherapy treatment. Ana is officially in remission and is cancer-free. She is a survivor, and the smile on that sweet angel's face is the best thing you'll watch all day.

It all started with a tummy ache, and then her parents noticed some unusual swelling. It wasn't long before their worst nightmares were confirmed. Ana was diagnosed with stage four metastatic Rhabdomyosarcoma. A rare and aggressive form of cancer that affects soft tissue. Her cancer was already spreading, and her prognosis would depend on how her young body responded to treatment.
The protocols for treating Rhabdomyosarcoma are as aggressive as the disease itself. Surgery to remove tumors, followed by radiation and chemotherapy to kill remaining cancer cells and hopefully prevent the spread of the disease. Those treatments can have intense side effects, and don't come with guaranteed success. For well over a year, Ana was a very sick little girl.
Ana persevered, and she did respond to treatment. She will have to have continued testing to make sure there is no recurrence, but she made it. Ana is cancer-free

The bravery of a 6-year-old fighting cancer reminds us what real courage looks like. Wishing her endless laughter, health, and adventures ahead.
Bravery is not the absence of fear but pushing on despite that fear. That's what Ana did; she persevered in the face of fear. She beat the odds, and she beat cancer.
She rang the bell, and that smile was everything.
