Kyla is a 4-year-old girl who has an illness. After eight months of chemotherapy(化疗) at St. Jude Children’s hospital, things were looking up! In fact, her doctors decided that she could stop chemotherapy and go home at long last.

The end of chemotherapy is a special day at St. Jude’s. Doctors, nurses, and staff celebrate each patient’s victories with a “No More Chemo” party. They sing a special song that ends with, “pack up your bags, get out the door, you don’t get chemotherapy anymore!”

In the days leading up to Kyla’s party, her doctor conspired with other members of the staff and Kyla’s family to make her party very special. They decided that the best way to honor the day was to dress up in a costume, specifically, a unicorn(独角兽) costume that Kyla’s mother bought a few days earlier! Dr. Santosh Upadhyaya surprised Kyla on her big day by entering the room in the unicorn costume, and the child was happy! She gave her doctor a big hug.

The doctor really enjoyed making a happy memory for Kyla this time. Seeing her smile was his “biggest joy.” “I was just wondering how Kyla is going to react. That was the first time that I think I had seen her so happy,” said the doctor. Kyla’s doctor went on to say that the “No More Chemo” parties may only be 10 minutes long, but they mean the world to both patients and medical workers.
