Produced by: Luke Skerpon Brandi Wingate My name is Isabella Rinier but everyone calls me Bella. I am now 5 years old. On October 27th, 2009, after being admitted to Penn State Children #39;s Hospital the previous day, I was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma Stage 4. This is a form of childhood cancer found mainly in the bone marrow. I went through 6 months of chemotherapy, and a major surgery to remove the tumor that was found on my left kidney. In May 2010 I had a bone marrow transplant. I was doing wonderful until one day mommy and daddy noticed i was walking funny. On February 14th, 2011, my family found out that I had relapsed. This time the doctors found 6 major tumors on my brain. The doctors told my mommy and daddy that i only had 3-6 months to live. I was placed in ICU to get the pressure off my brain and to start treatment right away. I am now under a new experimental treatment that is being conducted at Penn State Children #39;s Hospital Stem Cell Clinic. I am doing well and thanks to God, I only have 2 Tumors that at this time show up on my MRI scans.. I #39;m winning this battle one day at a time.From:lskerponViews:333 0ratingsTime:01:03More inPeople Blogs
