Valeria's Mirror... 2012 Medical Miracles Gala Honoree, Valeria Garcia

"Mama, am I going to die?" That was the question 13-year-old Valeria Garcia asked her mother after her first CT Scan. She'd seen the look on the doctor's face giving her family the results. Valeria knew it was really bad - she'd even seen it coming. Despite being active in sports, Valeria had been noticing her stomach getting larger. She had hoped the crunches she was doing would help but, on that day in February of 2009, when the pain became so intense and unbearable, she texted her mom to come get her. They went straight to the doctor, then almost immediately to the CAT scanner at a hospital near their Brownsville home. Her whole family was together when they heard the words that would change their life: malignant tumor. Turns out it wasn't malignant, but it was a five-pound tumor in her ovary. Within days she was at MD Anderson in Houston where surgeons removed it along with her left ovary and fallopian tube. They told her she didn't need chemotherapy, so she went home to recover. "The worst was over," her family thought. Turns out, "the worst" was just beginning.
