Daisy Farley is over the moon this morning.
The 19-year-old from Irving, Texas tells me she will be receiving her final chemo treatment today.
After 7 long months of battling- after too many times hearing she has a 30 percent chance to survive- Daisy Farley has too many reasons to live.
It's fitting that her first name is Daisy.
"I was named after my great-grandmother," Daisy told me from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis.
In Biblical symbolism, the word Daisy represents innocence and humility and new beginnings.
Those new beginnings are headed Daisy's way- there have been too many signs, too many Godwinks to think otherwise.
It was just months ago when her headaches grew stronger.
College freshman Daisy Farley received an MRI last April, and by Good Friday the tumor was discovered.
On April 22nd, 2025, Daisy underwent surgery at Baylor Scott & White Medical Center in Grapevine, Texas.
The official prognosis shocked Daisy, her parents Jason an Angela and her brothers Scott and Michael.
It was Medulloblastoma SHH-TP-53 Mutant with MYCN amplification & LCA along with Mosaic Li-Fraumeni Syndrome.
Translation?
Daisy had an aggressive brain tumor- the TP53 mutant results in poor survival rates.
Yet, for 7 months, Daisy- with her favorite prayer blanket and stuffed animal named "Sugar" by her side- has believed in her recovery.
The Godwinks have helped comfort her.
"We headed to St Jude in May," Daisy's mother Angela told me.
"An MRI showed us that some cancer remained- Dr. Paul Klimo felt confident he could get the remaining cancer removed," added Angela.
Dr. Klimo removed the cancer- after surgery, 30 rounds of proton therapy was administered.
"They then did fertility treatments and later started Daisy on 4 rounds of strong chemo," added Angela.
And now for those Godwinks.
Earlier this year, Daisy dove deep into her Bible.
She told God, "You can use my body in any way you need me- here on earth or in Heaven- as long as it leads people to You."
Daisy read the book of Job and so many others that brought her comfort.
She felt comfort in knowing God would use her as she prayed.
It was a few months ago when Daisy was home in Irving after receiving radiation treatments.
"It was a Saturday night, and I couldn't sleep," said Daisy.
"I asked God if He could send me a sign that I would be OK," Daisy added.
"The next day, I was out and about, and an old lady who I never met grabbed my arm and said, 'You are healed'. That was my confirmation from God that I will get through this."
More Godwinks were on the way.
"We have been attending a church here in Memphis," said Daisy.
"A pastor at the church walked up to me and out of the blue told me, 'It's going to be OK. This is a new beginning for you'," Daisy added.
Daisy Farley knows the odds are not in her favor, but with faith, not fear, she knows she has a chance to win her battle.
There will be more scans taken on December 17th and 18th.
She will have an MRI of the brain and full spine as well as a lumbar puncture.
If everything looks OK, Daisy will leave Memphis and be home in time for Christmas.
Daisy is hoping to receive more Godwinks in the coming days.
She faces 5 years of check-ups and follow-up appointments while remaining hopeful.
"I have asked God if He can give me a sign that I will not relapse, but I haven't received an answer yet," said Daisy as she sounded hopeful.
Daisy also sounded pragmatic as she pondered her future.
"Whether I live or die, I'll be OK," Daisy whispered.
"Because I win either way."
*Please send your best to Daisy and her family.
