Carley Rutledge went through much of 2010 in pain but not getting any correct answers about the cause of this pain for most of that year, until she received the shocking diagnosis of Ewings Sarcoma. Carley went through 2 years of difficult treatment and then was given an immunotherapy drug that worked and she experienced 8 years of being cancer free from this form of Pediatric Bone Cancer. Always active and with many accomplishments, Carley then felt back pain during her run in a Half Marathon which unfortunately indicated her Ewings Sarcoma had relapsed, and this led to her passing in November of 2021 at the age of 27. Carley's mother Laura will talk about her beloved daughter and about her family's Rutledge Cancer Foundation on today's podcast.
