The family's nightmare began when their 16-year-old daughter began experiencing severe, mysterious stomach pains.
NEW ORLEANS - A father and his two daughters in Louisiana received the same diagnosis of a rare stomach cancer within months of each other.
Routine tests all returned negative and upper endoscopy looked completely normal. Gensler however pushed for answers to Zoey’s mysterious pain and found them in a biopsy of the lining of her stomach. Years ago, Gensler walked the halls of St. Jude with his daughter, Catherine, who suffered from a rare brain tumor. Although Catherine lost her battle when she was right around Zoey’s age, he had faith for a different outcome this time.
The surgeons removed her entire stomach and then attached her esophagus to the small intestine to allow her to eat and digest food. During his surgery, doctors made an alarming find. Corey Holley’s cancer had spread throughout his entire stomach.Like Zoey, Corey Holley suffered life-threatening complications during his recovery that kept him in the hospital for weeks.
