I am a Stage 4 carcinosarcoma patient in NYC. I checked out surgeons in 2 other hospitals before going to MSK. Wasn’t impressed. Went to MSK. The surgeon, Dr. Dennis Chi, said he had seen tons of people worse off than me. He was like, I could do this on my lunch hour. And he did. He removed the primary cancer and debulked 11 spots in my abdominal cavity. 6 rounds of chemo later, I have no evidence of disease. MSK is mostly amazing to work with. They got my surgery scheduled very quickly, so be prepared. On a lighter note, the inpatient food is so good! Room service. You choose from a big menu, and they bring what you want. I only wish I had been hungrier when I was there! Happy holidays to all you Brodie’s. We’re all out here cheering for you!

Praying for you sweet girl my baby niece has this cancer to stage 4 also 😢 we are praying for a miracle

I know of a little girl from SC who had neuroblastoma and was treated where Kendall is being treated. This child had a rare side effect to the chemo and her liver completely shut down and she was in multiple organ failure. They got her through that, but were unsure of the next step, because they didn’t know of any other options. The family went to MSK and they developed a protocol for her and she was declared NED. I believe it’s been about 5 years now and she’s still NED. Not saying anything bad about Kendall’s hospital, but MSK has more experience

MSK and Children's hospital of Philadelphia have always been our go to hospital.l live in New Jersey

WATER, WATER, WATER. During Chemo, water helps nausea. I drank as much water as I could hold the day before chemo, the day of chemo, and the day after. It definitely helped curb the sick feelings. I’m praying for your beautiful girl. God is with you

I love this little trooper. Kendall is so brave. Sometimes I could get so angry. Children should never have to go through this horrible disease. Love all of you and sending prayers your way. ❤ I’m

Praying!! May the good Lord help her get through the chemo's and the surgeon can get out all the cancer in the lymph node.

MSK, way to go, will keep praying for precious Kendall 💕💕

Wow! You really think it through! She is a very lucky girl to have you as her advocate. She is so prescious!

I am so glad you spoke with the MSK surgeon and will move forward with that post-chemo. Fantastic news to hear and see that Kendall has been able to eat and put on weight, which has made her feel so much better and given her back something she has longed for. Sending Kendall hugs and thoughts of healing without discomfort as she goes through this next set of treatments. As well as continued prayers for the entire family for strength, guidance, and the courage to make these decisions. Your family is beautiful, and you are amazing parents to all of your children. Best wishes for a beautiful, Christmas and all the best for 2024

I have been following all your podcasts regarding Kendalls Cancer journey. She is so courageous. It truly amazes me. I will continue to pray for her complete healing!

That is really fantastic news and so glad that she is eating anything she wants with out it bothering her too much!

SWEET, SWEET KENDALL NOT ONLY DO YOU HAVE AN ADORABLE FACE & A TRILLION DOLLAR SMILE BUT YOU HAVE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SOUL EVER AND YOU BRIGHTEN MY DAY.. I'M PRAYING THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO GET RID OF THAT NASTY CANCER AND GO INTO REMISSION AND THAT YOU NEVER, EVER HAVE TO GO THROUGH ALL THOSE SURGERIES AND TREATMENTS. I WISH FOR YOU TO HAVE A VERY NORMAL CHILDHOOD AND LIVE A VERY VERY LONG AND HEALTHY LIFE❤🥰💪🌻

I know warrior Kendall will rock this surgery and be NED!! YOU GOT THUS KENDALL GIRL!

Yay Kendall, you got this girl. Cheering for you every day 🥰

What a blessing that you have so many medical professionals I vested in working with you and providing so many options for Kendall. I to, would have chosen the surgery for my child. I will be praying that the chemo treatments she will be receiving work some magic and that your able to get her surgery scheduled soon and that she has the best outcome possible. She is such a trooper and a little angel. She is looking so good and I know she has to be thrilled to be eating like everyone around her and feeling a sense of normal again. I always look forward to your updates. Your family is so loving, caring and adorable! You and Brandy are doing such a fantastic job. Your the best parents. Continued prayers for all! ❤ 🙏

Wow - thank you for sharing this update. Kendall looks phenomenal and happy and ready to start this next big journey. It is truly amazing that the MSK pediatric oncologist spent all this time to explain and reassure you of what his process and procedures are and why he believes he can successfully proceed with Kendall’s surgery. As parents I have not seen any more dedicated. Follow your gut instinct as you both know Kendall best and will always make the best possible decision. We will continue to send positive thoughts and prayers. Lastly, Kendall can do this…she has shown how strong and determined she is. Your positivity and straight forward explanations and support gives her that strength and belief in herself to continue to push forward. Enjoy a very Merry Christmas with your beautiful family and never forget your extra Village here on KZread are by your sides supporting, praying and cheering you all on!! We love and wish you more miracles and a strong 2024! ❤

Merry Christmas to all the Brodie's. Glad you have something planned now for Kendall's further treatment. She is an absolute star. Prayers for her and you all.

So wonderful to hear such promising news. Prayers lifted up for Kendall and you and entire family

I’m happy to hear that you got several opinions. MSK sounds like they are confident. They also sound like they care about getting Kendall better. Praying that everything goes well. At least you have her all set up on the RV. Hang in there mom and dad. Kendall is lucky to have you by her side.

Oh I hope this is Kendall’s answer! This surgeon sounds like a god send! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I hope the surgery can be arranged soon and this chemo/immuno therapy regime isn’t too miserable for her. Once again Kendall’s a charmer🧑‍🎄🎄🧑‍🎄

Kendall is such a brave angel. I personally know how sick you get with chemo and other therapy treatments. I have a very aggressive cancer too. My surgeon wasn't very good. I'm still messed up and have massive hematoma 8 months after surgury. My chemo was delayed by 4 months. I'm 🙏 praying the new treatment works better for her. With less side effects. And that the surgury she is going to have, cures her and the cancer never comes back. You hang in there Kendall. Send much love and prayers. ❤❤❤😊😊😊🙏🙏🙏

I think you are making the right decision if the surgeons give their blessing. No treatment is a definite answer so trying something new is going to potentially help Kendall and others behind her. Praying hard for success. Merry Christmas and happy new year ❤❤❤❤❤love to all

I’m so glad we finally got some answers! I know Kendall will be a rockstar through it all, she is a SUPERHERO! so glad she is able to eat now, sending my love and prayers for the holidays ❤

The beauty is having so many surgeons and health care professionals focused on Kendall's best interest. Taking the time needed to explain and answer your questions. Kendall truly is a beautiful warrior princess. ❤

Sounds like a good plan with a good team. Many blessings. Merry Christmas

I would opt for the surgery as well! This sounds like an AMAZING option!! Prayers to your ENTIRE family!!

I’m so sorry to hear that I’ve been praying for Kendall and I will continue stay safe and keep pushing on brave girl ❤️

Nightly prayers coming from Pennsylvania to the amazing Kendall! May God wrap his healing arms around her!

Thank you for the update. Y'all are in our thoughts and prayers. Have a Merry Christmas!

Will definitely be praying for sweet Kendall for all the upcoming treatments and surgery. She is a ray of sunshine with such a great attitude and a beautiful smile! I wish you all a joy filled Christmas!

Thank you for sharing. Sweet Kendall, we'll be thinking about you! Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year! Hugs to you all!

That’s extremely positive news, I know there are specialists /Surgeons out there that are a few notches above the normal, the ones that can and will successfully do what others haven’t or won’t do, finding these special physicians is half the battle, so this is extremely great news!! We’ll all continue to send prayers as Kendall prepares for the next steps in her journey to beat this, because she will indeed!! Ya’ll have a very good Christmas, thank you for the updates!

Beav thanks so much for all the updates. So much appreciated.

So happy to hear there IS a way. Prayers for Kendall

You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Hope you have a great Christmas. Kendall, you are so brave you are a rockstar.

Have a very Merry Christmas Kendall continuous love & healing reiki energy sweetheart...xxxx❤❤❤

Thank you for the update. I am so happy that Kendall is feeling so well. I will continue praying. Merry Christmas to you all.

Prayers to all of you…

Thank you for the update. Merry Christmas! Always praying for Kendall.

I know the feeling from my mil's cancer that she was asked which therapy she wanted to do. Also with my daughter in law's mom. How do you want us to treat this. It amazes me that my doctor will essentially treat almost anything but cancer with specific drugs and I don't remember any doctor asking me , "What do you want to take for this? Including a battle with Covid. Asking me how I wanted to proceed and what medicine/surgery I wanted to opt out of never happened. I think most of us are treated the same. When cancer rears its ugly head they ask "How do you want to do this?" I don't know either and I didn't spend a good portion of my life becoming a doctor. Make the best decisions you possibly can and know you've done your best. I have to say that Kendall is blessed in her parents. You aren't afraid to ask the tough questions and while you're afraid of the decisions/consequences you step up and do your homework, interview the players, before just saying yes to the squeaky wheels. It must have been scary hard for you to say - yes we think that this is Kendall's best option. Kendall looks wonderful, she loves and trusts you to have her back. You should be proud of yourself as parents & advocates for Kendall. I wish for your family a very Merry Christmas. God bless.

Merry Christmas! Best wishes to Kendall! ❤🙏🏼

That's a no go on lymph nodes , sounds dangerous I would not. Love that big bad beautiful smile. Do what you think is best.

Love you guys… sweet family. I am always wishing you love and remition for Kendall. Please keep updates coming. ❤️

Merry Christmas to all of you guys! God will heal your sweet Kendall. Lots of love and prayers being sent!!

Praying for your entire family!

Merry Christmas to all of you! We will continue to pray for you and Kendall and her medical team as you navigate through the next few months. God Bless you. Stay strong, Kendall! You are a ROCKSTAR!!!

Prayers for Kendall, stay strong you sweet child. Will keep you in my daily prayers.

It sounds like there's a plan now and she is strong and will get through this. I follow a guy ( Paul in Perth) who was diagnosed with a peritoneal cancer and after some initial therapy they pretty much had no more options and there was a dr in Sidney who said he could do it even though everyone else said it was operable. It was a huge surgery but he is out of the hospital and doing well. There are drs out there with more expertise and apparently you have found one and glad he is going to take her case on. Happy Holidays to you all and my prayers continue for Kendall.

Thanks for the update. I am glad for the update. I hope everything goes well for you

Thank you for the update. Hugs, love & positive thoughts to your family.

Thanks for the update, Beav. Sending tons of prayers and good wishes that the surgery will be successful. Kendall is such a beautiful little girl. 🙏❤️🙏

Praying for Kendall. Sounds like you’re doing everything in your power to eradicate this disease. May you all have a Merry Christmas and to a new beginning in the New Year.

Sending prayers out for Kendall in hopes the new plan is successful. Such a happy and beautiful little girl. ❤

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR. To you and the family. Especially Kendall.

No parents should have to make these decisions, it is heartbreaking. Love and hugs to you all ❤. You are doing the most amazing job ❤❤❤❤

Merry Christmas to you all. I am thrilled there are good options. Thankfully the surgeon is willing and able to do the surgery. Update when you can. Keeping all of you in my heart,thoughts and prayers. You’ve got this.

You guys are the best parents, everything you know is so well thought out and the best you can possibly get for Kendall. I so hope the surgery goes well and the new treatment helps a little in the meantime, even if only to stop things getting worse. Have a lovely Christmas and New Year all of you ❤

You guys are amazing! What a tough journey for Kendall! The pressure to make decisions on the next treatment path is so confusing and scary. I would certainly explore removal surgery, please weigh all your options for someone so young. Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers.
