Why my #1 life goal is to eradicate primary liver cancer aka Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC)

I am president and founder of Blue Faery: The Adrienne Wilson Liver Cancer Association. I started Blue Faery after losing my sister Adrienne, whom I raised from the time she was eight years old, until she passed away from HCC at age 15. She was in stage IV; the tumors had metastasized to her lungs. Adrienne lived for 147 days, dying on October 9, 2001. Raising her has been the greatest gift in my life; losing her has been the greatest loss.

I am here to help you: the patient, the spouse, the child, the caregiver, the provider. By working together, we can fight and win the war on liver cancer!

She was beautiful.❤. Thank you so much for starting Blue Fairy and for all the good you've done and lives you've touched in her name. What a wonderful tribute to her memory. As a fellow mother whose lost a child I can relate to your statement. Giving birth and raising my previous Manda was the most wonderful gift that I've ever received. Losing her at 22 was the most devastating loss. 💔. Part of me, and a big piece of my heart, died in that day. So grateful for the help and support I'm receiving in Adrienne's memory as I face another devastating loss. ❤❤❤. This is my Manda on the night of her senior prom.

I'm so sorry for your loss. It's never ever the same. Manda was a beautiful young woman and I love her dress! 🙏
