Molly Hughes is a 21-month-old girl who has already battled \u2014 and beat! \u2014 stage IV cancer.<\/span>While most toddlers are busy exploring their surroundings, testing boundaries, and living a carefree life at home, Molly has had a much tougher go of it.<\/span>Little Molly, who lives in Bowling Green, Kentucky, has been through more in less than two years than many people go through in their whole life.<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Photo: YouTube\/WSLS 10<\/span>
\n<\/span>After she was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, the little sweetie stayed in the hospital for 15 months to receive her cancer treatments.<\/span>But she was resilient.<\/span>\u201cShe would just bounce back after every treatment. I mean she would knock her down for few days and then she would be at playing again,\u201d said Chelsea Hughes, Molly\u2019s mother.<\/span>Friend and family used #MollyStrong as a rallying cry to support Molly and her family during these long months. Now they have good news to celebrate.<\/span>Thankfully, Molly was able to beat the odds and defeat stage IV cancer.<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Photo: YouTube\/WSLS 10<\/span>
\n<\/span>The phone call Hughes received saying that Molly\u2019s cancer was in remission is something that she will always remember.<\/span>\u201cJust like, I fell to the ground after I got off the phone and I just hugged her for like five minutes,\u201d she said.<\/span>The power of prayer was also something that helped the family get through this dark time.<\/span>\u201cI believe that\u2019s what helped her get through all this,\u201d Hughes said. \u201cWith all the prayers she\u2019s heard and which I can\u2019t thank everyone enough for.\u201d<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Photo: YouTube\/WSLS 10<\/span>Neuroblastoma is a very rare cancer, but it is the most common form of cancer for children who are under the age of 1 year old.<\/span>Many people assume neuroblastoma is cancer of the brain, because of the \u201cneuro\u201d part of the word. However, that is not the case. Neuroblastoma is actually a solid cancerous tumor that is commonly found in the adrenal glands, which are located on top of the kidneys.<\/span>According to St. Jude\u2019s Hospital<\/a>, it develops from nerve cells in the fetus called neuroblasts that become cancerous instead of developing normally after birth.<\/span>
