Brave Sydney Simms! [Post #7 12 PM] [finished vacuuming, made beds, etc. tacking the bathrooms!]


Sydney was diagnosed with stage 4 Neuroblastoma on January 15 2004. She was 7 years old. She has already had 12 rounds of High Dose Chemotherapy and major surgery. She had her left adrenal gland removed, her main tumor removed and several lymph nodes. She has also had 14 treatments of radiation to her left femur, abdomen, orbits. and skull. She has completed 5 rounds of Accutane. She is now undergoing antibody treatments (3F8)at Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York. The family will be making monthly trips there to receive the treatments. She is a fighter and does not let this horrible disease get her down!

Nikki’s notes: Sydney and her mom also make jewelry called Sydlets. Sydlets are bracelets, necklaces, and earrings. They are made with Swarovski crystal beads complimented with a sterling silver awareness ribbon, so they can be worn proudly, and spread the word on pediatric cancer, and the brave warrior children, like Sydney, who fight everyday for their lives.
The makers of Sydlets associate 3 words to their products:
Hope - for a cure!
Inspiration - to get involved and make a difference!
Peace - for all the angels whose suffering has ended.
Our motto: "It's HIP to be aware! Spread the word!"

Here is a picture of them!

Please stop by & purchase one to support her fight!
