Teen with rare disease seeks help to pay for surgery [View all]
A teenager in Seymour who is fighting a rare bone disease is asking for the community’s help after hitting a roadblock in her treatment.
Kaylee Fisher was diagnosed with osteochondromatosis when she was just nine months old. The condition causes benign tumors to form on growth plates.
The last time Kaylee had a full body scan in 2017, they found 28 tumors inside her body.
“People like me struggle not only medically, but socially, mentally, because, I’ve been in pain pretty much my entire life, and just when you think you make a breakthrough, you get set right back,” Fisher said.
