Campaign Launched To Help Hatfield Girl Fight Cancer

Jillian Massey, age 4, is in the middle of a courageous battle against brain and spine cancer.

A four-year-old Hatfield girl currently battling brain and spine cancer has the community standing behind her.

A recent fundraising dinner was held on her behalf. And now a YouCaring site has been set up to help her and her family through the fight.

Jillian Massey is currently at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia where she is receiving chemotherapy and is in the midst of her third round of stem cell therapy.

"So far Jillian is doing great and responding well," writes friend of the family Carla DeMaio Anderson. "Although this is great news it's also kind of scary for the family. This is the very end of treatment options and plans."

The family will know more when Jillian gets an MRI in a few weeks.
