Toddler Diagnosed With Rare Ovarian Cancer Is Now Cancer-Free

June 20, 2019

A 2-year-old girl in Georgia who captured national attention after her cancer diagnosis has been declared cancer-free.

In February, Kenni was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer.

After surgery to remove the tumors and four rounds of chemotherapy, parents Mike and Meagan Xydias received the good news of their daughter's clear bill of health.

"Today, we saw the oncologist and were told that all of Kenni's scans were clear. No evidence of disease in her abdomen (everything that was left over after surgery has been taken care of). X-rays showed no evidence of disease in her chest (so nothing spread)."

"We can't say 'Thank you' enough to everyone for all of the love, support, and prayers that our sweet Kenni and family have received over the last four months," Meagan wrote in a Facebook post.

Now that Kenni is cancer-free, Mike and Meagan are sharing their advice with other parents. They also plan to pay it forward for all the support they received over the past four months.

"People are genuinely good and they want to help," Mike told GMA. "[We want to] pay it forward to everyone who helped us."
