Melanie and Joe Wengrod will talk about their daughter Harper who was more than shockingly diagnosed with Stage 3 Sertoli Cell Ovarian Cancer before her 1st birthday at the end of 2024 and she is fighting her battle each and every day.

from Help and Hope Happen Here · host Mark Levine

Harper Wengrod was born on January 12th of 2024 and by the end of that year , a lump on her abdomen that her dad Joe found after Thanksgiving that was thought to be Neuroblastoma was the probable cause. That was not to be the case however as Joe and Melanie were to learn that Harper was actually suffering from Stage 3 Sertoli Cell Ovarian Cancer. This is such a rare diagnosis for a child not even a year old to receive, as Ovarian Cancer is found in women decades older than that. Harper continues to fight her battle on a daily basis and physically it looks as if she is a completely healthy toddler.
