Tonight's Anthem performer, 16 year old Kaylee Chambers joins the show along with her parents Kristina and Tim During the COVID lockdown in 2020, Kaylee started to get headaches and noticed weight loss. After many Zoom calls with doctors about the symptoms, she was brought in for a CT scan and a colonoscopy. It was confirmed it was adenocarcinoma of the colon that had metastasized to the liver, which is an adult cancer and rare in adolescents.  Kaylee's doctors at Dana-Farber are Dr. Jenny Mack and Dr. Nina Weichert-Leahey. Her treatment has included several different immunotherapies, two colon resection surgeries, chemotherapy, radiation, and ablations. She is currently in  immunotherapy treatment  Kaylee enjoys all things creative, such as singing, songwriting, making jewelry and stickers, keychains, drawing, and painting. She also spends her time baking and cooking, and with her best friend, Abby.  Her family feels fortunate to be going to Dana-Farber, especially as the Jimmy Fund Clinic team often make going there feel fun. Kaylee enjoys child life specialist, Kate Nixon. Kate helps get Kaylee right into a craft while waiting for appointments.  She is often then escorted to the treatment by the bubbly Philomena, with her awesome Irish accent. Kaylee's doctors are there for the family 24/7, even on weekends and vacations. And they are grateful to all the wonderful nurses, like Margarite, who really try to get to know the kids and make them feel comfortable.  The Jimmy Fund Clinic also plans activities and events outside of the hospital that give the kids something fun to look forward to. Kaylee and her family have been to Franklin Park Zoo and had family pictures taken at Fenway Park. Kaylee enjoys the zoom teen group FACES and has been invited to sing at events like the Make-A-Wish annual Evening of Wishes Gala, the Newport Gulls home opener, and a Woo Sox game.  Kaylee is singing the National Anthem before this evening’s game.
