Maddy Chesher, an eighth grader at CCMS, was recently diagnosed with bone cancer. This diagnosis brought life as she and her family knew it to a screeching halt. One of the big changes for Maddy is losing the ability to play basketball, a sport she loves. As an eighth grader she has seen consistent playing time on the CCHS freshman team. She recently played what could be her last basketball game. The Lady Panthers tapped her to start the game and score the first points of their contest against Shelby County on Feb. 17.
According to her family, after three months of chemo she will have surgery to remove the damaged bone and replace it with cadaver bone and a metal plate in her rotator cuff. “After surgery, she will then do another three months of chemo and 12 to 18 months of physical therapy to rebuild the strength in that arm and basically learn how to maneuver that arm because it will not function the same as her right arm,” said her mom, Kim Curtis. “The doctor said as long as everything goes according to plan and schedule we are looking at a five- to seven-year process from start to finish. Finished means being able to say she is cancer free.”
Please continue to follow for updates on Maddy.
