Prayers for an 18-year-old who is facing cancer for the third time, and her strength is moving people to stand with her now.
Mayla is an 18-year-old who has been fighting rhabdomyosarcoma for five years. She was first diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in 2021 at 13 years old. She reached remission in 2023 after treatment. The cancer returned in 2024, and she pushed through again to reach remission in 2025. Just 2 months before her high school graduation, she was diagnosed again as the cancer spread to multiple areas.
Her family shared that they have watched her face each diagnosis with courage. Treatment will include both chemotherapy and radiation at the same time. Radiation is set to take place Monday through Friday at UC Davis in Sacramento for several weeks. Chemotherapy will follow multiple times each month. They said, "She keeps pushing forward every time. We are grateful for every prayer and every bit of support."
Many people are now rallying around Mayla as her story reaches more communities. Keep going Mayla.
