Shelly and Hal White adopted Mya from China, undeterred by her diagnosis of stage 4 rhabdomyosarcoma. Norton Children’s Hospital agreed to assume Mya’s care, which made it possible for her to get a medical visa to come to the United States. She arrived in Louisville on May 7, 2013, and underwent 10 months of intense treatment that included chemotherapy, radiation and two 10-hour surgeries that ultimately removed all of the cancer.
Two years since the end of Mya’s treatment, she remains cancer-free and is enjoying the life of a typical toddler.
