I kept taking her back to the pediatrician and they were saying she had like stomach bug that lasted a long time,” said Shaylone Jeter, Kylie’s mom.Jeter says she found a knot the size of a golf ball on Kylie’s right side and took her to the emergency room. “They told me that they found lesions on her liver,” said Jeter.They went to MUSC in Charleston, where they diagnosed Kylie with hepatoblastoma in November 2022. Shaylone Jeter’s reaction?”Devastation, because when you think of cancer, you think of bad stuff,” she said.Kylie went through six rounds of chemotherapy.”She had clinical trial is what we had her put in instead of getting a combination of chemo she got one chemo,” Jeter said.The treatment wasn’t as effective as they hoped, so doctors told her that Kylie needed a liver transplant.As of now, her treatment is complete, but she will have to be monitored. “Her care is going to be managed for the rest of her life,” Jeter said.Jeter is happy that now her daughter, Kylie, is a healthy 3-year-old.”Right now, she’s perfect. She’s back to her normal self,” said Jeter.They’re in the process of starting the Kylie Lives Strong Cancer Foundation to help other parents.”Someone that they can lean on as far as financial, spiritual, anything that they might need, we’re going to try and provide that for them,” Jeter said.Jeter’s advice to any parent going through the same journey is to ask as many questions as you can and, if you believe in God, to pray daily.
