We’ve all been warned to look out for the obvious signs of cancer, so when this mom and dad noticed a bump in their daughter’s mouth, a scary diagnosis like cancer was the furthest thing from their mind.
After visiting a handful of dentists and other doctors, Paul and Keri Mosier found out that instead of a new tooth, their 7-year-old daughter Harmony had a rare form of cancer that had formed a tumor in her mouth. “We went to a dentist, orthodontist, to oral surgeons and finding out it was cancer didn’t even cross my mind,” said mom, Keri.
Harmony decided to cut her hair short so that it wouldn’t look as bad when the chemotherapy started to make her hair fall out, but despite the treatment, she’s looking on the bright side. With all the attention, “It’s like my birthday every day,” she said.
Harmony needs to undergo 12 weeks of chemo treatment and surgery, which are both extremely costly. To help the family, their friends, family, and the rest of the community has come together to raise over $27,000.
“It’s humbling to see how many people have reached out in a number of ways including that,” said dad, Paul. “Allowing people that love us to express it in all the ways that they have.”
Watch the entire video below to see how this brave little girl is handling her diagnosis, and everything she now has to deal with.
