Hazel's Story

Hazel is a little girl who is a big fan of rainbows, unicorns, make-up, and dress up. She also likes to color, create crafts, and help her dad cook.

鈥淪he鈥檚 up and down all the time,鈥 said her dad, David. 鈥淚f she鈥檚 feeling energy, she will be bouncing around the house, jumping on the trampoline, and climbing on stuff.鈥

A year earlier in 2022, when Hazel was just two, her parents, David and Hannah, noticed she was having balance issues. A visit to a local hospital near their home in Kentucky revealed a brain tumor. Thirty-six hours later, Hazel had brain surgery.

When the couple left Hazel in the pre-op room, they were overwhelmed with emotions.

鈥淲e both had the deepest feelings of dread. We didn鈥檛 know what would happen or who would be coming out. A few long hours later, Hazel came out, still as feisty as ever,鈥 David recalled.

Doctors were able to remove the tumor, but Hazel needed further treatment for the malignant tumor called medulloblastoma. Hazel was referred to St. Jude Children鈥檚 Research Hospital庐.

At St. Jude, doctors looked at the genetic markers of Hazel鈥檚 tumor to determine the course of treatment. Hazel received chemotherapy and then proton radiation. She returned home in September 2023. She goes back to the research hospital every three months for checkups, David said.

David said he knew about St. Jude prior to his daughter鈥檚 diagnosis but wasn鈥檛 sure what to really expect.

鈥淓veryone there went above and beyond to do their very best for us 鈥 from doctors to the nurses to those in the cafeteria,鈥 he said. 鈥淓veryone we interacted with, they all really cared.鈥
