SOPHIE'S STORY:
Sophie Isabella Ryan was born October 3, 2012, perfectly healthy weighing in at 8 pounds, 7.4 ounces. Her birth had zero complications and I had the perfect pregnancy, doing everything right by way of diet and constant checkups with my OB. On June 20, 2013, Sophie had her first MRI scan after nystagmus, shaking of the eyeball, presented in her left eye. On June 23rd, at 8 ½ months old, Sophie was diagnosed with a low-grade, Optic Pathway Glioma brain tumor. My husband, Josh, and I were originally told that her only option would be a 13-month protocol of chemo in hopes to stop the development of the tumor. Since it is a slow-growing tumor, chemo was never meant to get rid of the tumor, and doctors told us if they saw even minimal shrinkage it would be considered a huge success.
Sophie finally stopped treatment after 6 long years, and was deemed a medical miracle more times than anyone can count due to her use of cannabinoid therapy alongside cancer treatments. Sophie is now part of ongoing NK Cell research led by renowned cancer research scientist Dr. Anahid Jewett at one of Southern California’s top universities. Their groundbreaking discoveries have spawned even more research on 17 cancer patients who represent all ages, many different types of cancer and are in varying stages of their treatments. The goal is to find better, less toxic treatments for patients suffering from cancer. We look forward to what the science tells us!
