At 4 years old, Josie spent her Christmas at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. That hospital stay led to the fight of Josie’s life. Josie was diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare cancer that can develop anywhere but was even more challenging and rare because it was in her bile duct. After speaking with the Department of Oncology, Brian Turpin, DO, along with other team members, devised a treatment plan that saved her life. Josie underwent 67 weeks of chemotherapy and radiation followed by six months of maintenance chemo. Doctors also used Proton Therapy to decrease her overall exposure to radiation. Josie is now 8 years old and is busy with dance, soccer and basketball. She has been in remission for over two years. And with no evidence of tumor, the chance of the cancer returning is small.
