CPOY 73 Documentary Bronze: Growing with Cancer

One childhood cancer diagnosis is enough for any parent to endure for a lifetime- but four diagnoses is purely unimaginable. The Kwiecien family has been battling cancer since 2013, when their then 2 year-old-daughter, Kailee, was diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare pediatric muscular cancer. The family received her fourth diagnosis on Friday the 13th, just 3 months after she had completed treatment of her 3rd diagnosis. Unfortunately ‘normal’ for them revolved around countless treatments, blood draws and doctors’ visits.
