When Bayliss was diagnosed with stage 4 liver cancer, her family was stunned. Her diagnosis, metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma, is exceedingly rare, affecting less than 100 children in the U.S. every year. Thankfully, Bayliss received life-saving care at the Liver Tumor Program at Texas Children’s, one of the largest programs in the nation. When doctors first saw Bayliss, they found that her tumor was too large to be removed, and the cancer had spread to both lungs. She underwent a few rounds of chemotherapy at her local hospital and then returned to Texas Children’s to have her lung tumors removed. Despite the frightening prognosis, the care team at Texas Children’s gave her hope. They used a multidisciplinary approach, bringing together a diverse group of specialists and surgeons to provide the best quality of care. As part of the world’s largest children’s hospital, the Liver Tumor Program has access to the full range of subspecialty expertise – which is key for treating complex cases like Bayliss’. When her tumor wasn’t responding to the initial treatments, her doctors discussed trying a new medication. After one week on the drug, her health started improving across the board! Bayliss felt better than she had in months, and today, she is cancer-free!  She is thrilled to be back in school with her friends and will continue to see her team every few months for check-ups. Her family is grateful to Texas Children’s for saving Bayliss’ life.
