Family overjoyed when their neighborhood throws parade for 3-year-old daughter on her last day of chemo

Cancer is one of the most terrifying words a family can hear. Leaving most with a big pit in their stomach knowing what the future may hold. Chemotherapy is a harsh and weakening treatment that affects everyone differently. 3-year-old Mable Franks from Prior Lake Minnesota has been undergoing chemotherapy for two-thirds of her life.

All of the treatments became ā€˜normalā€™ for little Mable, but all of that was going to change.

After her two-year cancer battle, Mable was finally going to take her last chemotherapy pill. That means for a big celebration! Unfortunately with the spread of COVID-19, a party wasnā€™t looking very likely. But, that wasnā€™t going to stop all of Mableā€™s family and friends from throwing a socially distanced festivity!

Mable was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia when she was just 14 months old.

She had been undergoing chemotherapy for two years intravenously and her last treatment would be taken as a pill. Mableā€™s bravery is undeniable as she never stopped fighting while trying to be a normal 3-year-old at the same time. Although traumatic experiences like chemo would seem to dim the light of a child, Mable keeps her spirits high.

After two long years, Mable can finally put the past behind her enjoy being 3!
