Khushi loved everything. She loved the nurses. She made all the friends. She loved the volunteers. It was blessed. We cannot describe it -- everything she loved. She never had anything to complain of.

Meet Khushi

When Khushi complained of stomach pain that wouldn’t go away, her parents became worried. They took her to their local pediatrician several times but couldn’t find an answer. One day Khushi and her dad went back to the doctor, leaving her mom and baby sister at home. This time they got an answer, though not one Khushi’s parents ever imagined hearing: Khushi had a cancerous tumor at just 6 years old.

Her mom said, “I had stayed home... and Khushi and her dad were gone so long, I started to worry. We usually had dinner together, and he told me to go ahead, but I couldn’t. When they said she had cancer, we were shocked. He couldn’t eat, and I couldn’t either.”

Khushi and her family were referred to St. Jude for her treatment and care, which included chemotherapy, surgery to remove the tumor, a bone marrow transplant and radiation therapy.

At. St. Jude, the family found comfort and hope — and lots of love.

“Khushi loved everything,” her mom said. “She loved the nurses. She made all the friends. She loved the volunteers. It was blessed. We cannot describe it — everything she loved. She never had anything to complain of.”

Today, Khushi is 12 years old, cancer-free and healthy. She said, “I feel so thankful for St. Jude saving my life.” Khushi enjoys crafts and loves her baby sister.
