2020 CHEO Telethon - Abbigail's Story

Abbigail is like a lot of ten year olds, she has a deep love for arts and crafts and anything Barbie. But unlike her friends, Abbigail has been followed by CHEO for most of her life. At 20 months old she was diagnosed with neuroblastoma and opsoclonus myoclonus ataxia syndrome (OMS). OMS is a rare disease in which the immune system tries to battle the neuroblastoma but instead attacks her brain. Her body’s way of fighting the cancer brings a host of other struggles for this young patient.
Abbigail will need treatment for her entire life. OMS affects only one in 10 million people and does not have a cure. She visits CHEO every three months for checkups and to ensure she’s hitting her developmental milestones. Despite her tough lifelong battle, Abbigail remains a very active and vibrant girl who doesn’t let anything stop her.
Watch this touching story to learn how this high-spirited girl lives with her condition.
