Overview

• Delani Diekmeier, 14, has metastatic kidney cancer that has spread to her lungs, with persistent tumor growth despite chemotherapy.
• Doctors have halted chemotherapy after scans revealed metastases in both lung lobes continued to grow during treatment.
• A new surgery is scheduled to remove metastases from Delani’s right lung, with further treatment plans pending medical evaluation.
• Earlier surgeries removed a kidney tumor in February and 19 lung lesions in April, exceeding initial imaging estimates.
• The Diekmeier family remains resilient, sharing updates and rallying support on Instagram under the motto 'Never give up.'
