Korrine remains in the UCSF Pediatric ICU receiving the best of care. Several different medical specialties are managing multiple issues and this continues to be a long-term event. Korrine is alert, and conversing in her usual warrior spirit!
We are ever appreciative of everyone’s prayer and forms of support. Our needs are being met at this time and all we ask is your continuing positive prayer and thoughts.
If possible, we will post evening updates, but please do NOT assume anything negative if doctor meetings or computer issues prevent an end of the day post.
Stay positive and LiveStrong!

Cancer stripped her of everything including her life but it could not steal away God's LOVE, PEACE and the JOY that radiated through her. Korrine never stopped SMILING!
Korrine Lannie Croghan
Korrine Croghan was a vivacious 14-year-old girl who lived all of her life in Livermore, CA. She had a love for animals, sports, and most of all, family. Korrine was a straight “A” student while attending Mendenhall Middle School and was working hard in her first trimester at Granada High. She was a great friend to many and was everything that a brother, mother and father could ask for in a daughter. Korrine was the type of girl who would greet you with a wide smile and look into your eyes and truly would want to know how you were doing
Korrine & Cancer
On December 20th, 2007, Korrine was diagnosed with Choriocarcinoma with a germ cell element. Choriocarcinoma is a very rare type of cancer in teenage girls and inflicts less than 200 nationwide each year. Although the cancer started in her left ovary, the cancer had spread to her right ovary, lungs and liver. After the removal of a cantaloupe sized tumor in her left ovary on December 21st of 2007, Korrine, endured 10 months of intense chemotherapy designed for adult men.
During the course of her treatment, Korrine suffered many complications. In early April of 2007, her liver began to bleed. After staying at Kaiser Oakland for almost two weeks, Korrine was transfered to UCSF and spent a month in the intensive care unit. The doctors at UCSF Medical Center were finally able to stop her bleeding liver, but, not before it filled her abdomen with 5 liters of blood that had to be drained via a tube inserted into her stomach. On top of that, both of Korrines’ lungs collapsed while undergoing a CT scan that almost took her life. Because of that, 2 liters of fluid needed to be drained off of her lungs with the use of another drainage tube. Throughout her treatment Korrine needed numerous blood and platelet transfusions. She had nosebleeds that lasted an hour on several occasions. At one point, she had 18 intravenous tubes running through her body filled with anti-bacterials, anti-fungals, nutrition, painkillers and chemotherapy. Korrine miraculously made it through those tough days at UCSF and returned to Kaiser Hospital in Oakland. She was finally stable and was released to go home in late June. Just as things were starting to look up for her, she suffered septic shock in July that forced her to go back into intensive care at Kaiser in Santa Clara for 2 weeks.
Korrine returned home in late July and went through imaging scans to see if the cancer had disappeared. The scans always came back good, but not great. In an effort to kill and stop the remaining cancer cells, she underwent an emergency round of chemotherapy in early September. Unfortunately, it did kill the remaining cancer and her doctors had run out of options.
Korrine spent her last days at home with her family reading books and loving on her cats and dog. She passed away quietly, at home, on October 27th, 2008. Through it all, Korrine had a positive attitude and never gave up or complained. Many consider Korrine a hero.
Team KC
The Team KC website was originally started as a way to encourage, educate, raise awareness, and keep friends and family informed with accurate information on Korrine's treatment and progress. Family, classmates, friends, community members, and complete strangers rallied to support Korrine and her family through her fight against Choriocarcinoma. We were amazed by the amount of support we received, and it is now our desire to give back. In March, 2009, Team KC became an official nonprofit by joining forces with Kaiser Foundation Hospital. All monies raised by Team KC will directly benefit pediatric cancer patients and their families. All monetary contributions are tax deductible.
Our Mission: To help improve the quality of life of pediatric cancer patients and their families. We wish to supply children with fun activities, toys and anything else that will brighten and better their lives. Monies will also be used to help parents pay for bills and defray the costs of gas, food and lodging that go along with caring for a child with cancer.

A Note From Korrine (written after her 4th round of Chemo)...
Hello everyone! It's me, Korrine. I just wanted to take a
moment to thank each and every one of you for supporting me through emails,
visits, food, gifts, and most importantly, prayer. Without it, I probably
wouldn't have made it this far. Anyways, on a happier note, I am happy to
announce that I am feeling very good. This last round of chemo hit me pretty
hard, but I think that it is more exiting to end things with a big BANG! I will
try to start writing things for the blog now that my chemo therapy is over, but
until then, just know that I love every single one of you and I am always
thinking about my family, friends, and even the people who I've never met
before. Thanks for joining my battle and for making this experience "The
Experience of a Lifetime." LIVESTRONG! And stay positive.

Korrine.
I am praying for you every day. You are obviously a very strong young lady with a great family. God will hear and answer all our prayers for you. I pray that your team of medical experts will be led by God's hands in the process of your healing.
Thank you so much for taking your precious time to update all of us on Korrine. I check this site multiple times a day so that I know if there are any specifics you need prayer for. You are such a strong family with a wonderful faith in God. I am confident that He will heal your beautiful daughter. My prayers are always with all of you.

I was told about Korrine through one of your family members. I have been reading about her and her amazing strength through all this and I am so inspired by her. You are very lucky to have such an amazing, strong, beautiful girl. Korrine is in my thoughts daily and I have never met her and I am moved by her. God be with you and your family.
Dear Matt, Dana, Korrine & Sean,
Our love and continued prayers are with you all. We have no doubt that Korrine is charming all the new members of Team KC at UCSF with your strength and optimism! We are with you through this rough spot and pray that you will regain your strength soon and move further down the road toward full recovery!
Your candle is still burning and keeps a warm glow in our family room 24 hours a day... just as your smile lights up every room you enter! :)

We recently learned of your battle, and have joined you in your fight. Our prayers are for your complete healing. We check on your progress daily. Know that you are in our hearts.
The Millers
Korrine,
My wife and I pray for your healing often. We wear the yellow LIVESTRONG wrist band daily to remind us to think of you and your family often and pray.
May you have a good night sleep and while you sleep, may your body fight and overcome that which attacks it and may you awake in the morning stronger, healthier, and well rested.
Our love,
Rob & Sherry Tanner
Korrine,
You are a real warrior!
We are so happy that you are getting the best of care from your great doctors. We are thinking about you and praying for you every day.
Please remember that many others are thinking about you and adding their strength to yours during this time.
We love you. Stay strong!
The Spences
Korrine,
Positive energy and thoughts are coming your way! You Uncle Mark brought me one of the SWIMSTRONG
FOR TEAM KC bracelets and I wear it along with my LIVESTRONG one.
Sean,
Let's see, it is probably STAR testing time for you. At Canyon, we'll be testing next week and it gets crazy! My daughter teaches 7th grade math and science at another school ans she is testing this week. She brings her kids all kinds of snacks... like Rice Krispie treats with the message, "Stay crisp for the test." And twisted pretzels - "Don't let the test get you in a twist." Crackers - "Don't crack under pressure." Fruit snacks - "I'm berry proud of you!" (That one is for Friday.) Even though they are in 7th grade... they love the treats. Have a good week!
Dana and Matt,
That was a great idea to remind people that messages might not be posted daily. You have been so generous in sharing your journey. I know for me... I need time to process and then I can share. Sometimes that processing can take longer... and when I'm ready, it will come pouring out.
We all just wish that we could do more to make everything right. Allowing us to answer your requests for prayers does help us to feel like we are helping.
Our love, thoughts, prayers and positive energy are sent your way every minute of every hour of every day.
hugs and love, kathy t.
Korrine,
You're strength is amazing and we pray that God continues to heal you. Rest sweet girl and continue to LIVESTRONG. Don't forget to smile that beautiful smile! :) Many hugs to you and your family. We continue to think and pray for you everyday.
The Moreau Family

The Riddioughs
Good morning Korrine...so glad to hear you are alert! I thought of a very old song that reminded me of you...maybe your parents or Auntie know it and can sing it to you. The words go like this:
I am a wounded soldier
But I will not leave the fight
Because the Great Physician
Is healing me
So I’m standing in the battle
In the armour of His light
Because His mighty power
Is real in me
I am loved (I am loved)
I am accepted (I am accepted)
By the Saviour of my soul (Saviour of my soul)
I am loved (I am loved)
I am accepted (I am accepted)
And my wounds will be made whole

These words remind me of you. Be blessed today. Love, Lorri and

Hey Matt, Sean, Dana, and Korrine,
We are at work..praying often throughout the day. If I could say one special thought today, it'd have to be from our first CD, "Sometimes life catches us by surprise, but in every situation, we find hope with new life, new love, new beginnings. Oh how there is so much hope surrounding you...and when you're past all of this yucky stuff, you new life will begin and what a huge plan God has in store for all of you...and everyday is a new, new beginning with new mercies all of the time. 'Hope ur day goes well and if Satan starts to attack, just kick him in the back side. Luv, Stephen and Rebecca
Korrine,
You are always in my thoughts and prayers.
Keep fighting.

Our best wishes and of course our prayers. If God is moving slow, try to be patient, He may still be in shock hearing from us. Korrine has gotten us back to church - she is doing God's work.
Hello Dear Croghans,
I am glad to hear that you are in such good hands at UCSF. I KNOW you are in His good hands! I continue to pray for you very often throughout the day!

FRIFOLEY AND MARIAH VASH
Korrine,
Hello sweetheart! It's Frifoley and Mariah, we love you and you and your family are in our hearts and prayers. Prayers, scripture, love and laughter have gotten us through some close calls with Mariah.
I do massage therapy for my best friend who is also recovering from the C word. I will give you a massage to help your circulation and your body feel better anytime.
Health, peace, love, laughter and the spirit fill you so that nothing foreign can remain.
Love, Frifoley and Mariah
We Quote: "Let our faith not be in the wisdom of man, but the power of God" "The Lord God made me and the breath of the Almighty gives me life" and "Rejoice in the lord always again I say rejoice. Let you gentelness be evident to all the Lord is near. Do not be anxious or afraid but in everything with thanksgiving present your requests to God and let the peace of which trancends all understanding guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus" all these I write from memory... Phillipians...and Ephesians?
Dear Croghan Family,
Your strength and faith as a family is the most beautiful testimony to us all. Your concern for all of us who are praying for you is amazing, and God has blessed you with thousands who are fighting this fight by your side in prayer. Tonight my faith class (12 kids) prayed for Korrine and the whole family, and I shared with them how their prayers have been answered so far. I wish you could have seen their faces!
Korrine, you have touched so many by being a young lady of faith and grace.
We prayed for continued strength and healing, and with you we will LIVESTRONG!
With love,
The Puso Family

Just thinking about all of you and praying for that miracle, as well as strength and peace.

Hey Korrine,
Just sending a quick hello and note to say I'm thinking of you and your family. Sending lots of wishes and prayers and hoping you are feeling better each day.
I haven't been to the Children's part of UCSF but I know the main hospital has some great views of San Francisco... like the views you mentioned from some of the rooms at Kaiser. When Becky and her Dad were there last summer for the kidney transplant, Dad had a private room with a great view and Becky looked out onto the staff lunch area and had to share a room.
Sending hugs and love, kathy t.
Hey Korrine,
I'm looking forward to walking the Relay to Life with you and your family. I recently learned of an inspirational song "You'll Never Walk Along" and I wanted to share them with you:
"When you walk through a storm
Keep your chin up high
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At he end of the storm
Is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark.
Walk on through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown.Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never walk alone.
When you walk through a storm
Keep your chin up high
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At he end of the storm
Is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark.
Walk on through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown.Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never walk alone."
Looking forward to Relay for Life with you and your family!
Love, Janet
Dear Korrine, Dana, Matt and Sean,

Hello Korrine, and family,
I do not know you or your family but heard about you from a friend...I have personally faced some of your same challenges through other family members and know that you can persevere...stay strong..I pray for you everyday..
Dear Korrine, Sean, Dana and Matt,
I keep picturing a scene in the Bee Movie where all the Bees come together to help a plane land safely. I think that everyone's thoughts and prayers are going to lift you up and help you make a safe landing.
We are thinking about you and pray for you always.
Love,
Sal, Clelia, Anthony, Jean and Vince Opipari
Hey Korrine,

We are all excited because we KNOW HE IS HERE WITH US! We are all praying with great expectation! We love you! Rosalyn, James, Matt, Chelsea, Doug, Brandon, Morgan, Lauren, Ariel, Brandon B, Ana, Sundae, Stephanie, Carly, Casey, Corey & Rick
Good morning Korrine...I bet you are so sick of the hospital! Today I pray for good distractions, for time to pass quickly, and that something surprising makes you laugh.
When my father in law was in the hospital once, he tried to escape complete with an overcoat to hide his oxygen tank and hospital gown. I'm not trying to give you any ideas but I hope the visual makes you smile!
Love, Lorri
Korrine,
Woke up this morning to check on you, hope that you are doing well and smiling that wonderful smile. I know that you are in good hands at UCSF. Much love to you and your family. You are all in my heart each day. Many blessings to you.
Your strength and love is amazing. You are an inspiration! We think about you everyday and are conveying positive thoughts your way.
The Minton Family
Good morning Korrine & Family,
When I realized it was May 1st today, I thought of that old saying "April showers bring May flowers" and then I thought of you guys... Now that April is over, my prayer is that that nothing but positive things bloom for you in the month of May!
You are in our daily prayers
Love,
Glenda, Richard, & Kirra Thornton
Hi guys,
I was dreaming about you guys last night while I slept. Miss you all. Korrine, Brandon is making you something in woodshop. He told me your initials stand for "Kill Cancer" Hang in there! Keep fighting the good fight! I love you all.
Love,
Shellee
P.S. I talked to Frifoley and she would like to offer you massage therapy if and when you are up to it.
Hey Korrine,
You are in our thoughts and prayers all day, everyday. Keep it up that fighting spirit kiddo. You are one amazing girl!
Love, The Cuys
Hi Korrine!
Today your song "Calling All Angels" came on the radio and I couldn't help but smile thinking of you. I stopped, said a prayer and hoped you were having a good day.
Love and hugs (and a big one for Mom, Dad and Sean too!)~

Hey Croghans...
We are still praying often throughout the day just like so many other families.
We love you guys! Keep LivingSTRONG!

Just wanted you all to know that we are praying for Korrine a lot. It is amazing to read all the messages people have left and to realize that an entire community has been brought together in prayer for one amazing girl and her family. May that simple though wrap your heart in love as you are enduring this season. Thank you for allowing us to come along side you lifting you all in prayer and learning to again lean on our Lord Jesus Christ for healing and strength!!
Good Evening Korrine,
I hope you sleep well and pray that you gain physical strength through the night. Your spiritual strength is mountainous and so much more is pouring in daily!
We are still with you and think about you everyday. God Bless You!
Dan, Wendy, Alyssa, Jason and Trevor
Korrine, I was away for a few days and did not check your blogsite but I did think of your strength and I prayed for you, as I do each day. Your fight has touched SO many of our lives. Stay strong.
Hi Croghan Family!
I am praying for you all and hoping that the doctors are helping Korrine to get better. I am thinking positive and sending thoughts of strength and hope your way.
Love,
Cindy Vance

Korrine,
Just checking in to say hello today. Thursdays are one of my favorite days of the week. Just one more work day (or school day) until the weekend and Grey's Anatomy (my favorite show) is back now after several months. My daughters (all grown up) enjoy the show too.
It is also the day that your Uncle Mark puts the finishing touches on the Friday Memo which goes in mailboxes at Canyon to remind everyone of the events to come.
As always, I'm sending lots of hugs and love (and prayers) off to you and your family!
xo, kathy t.
Korrine,
My thoughts and prayers have been with you since I "accidently" got an email from Arla...:) No accidents. I have to tell you I get many notes of this type, but when I read about you the Holy Spirit led me to talk about you and pray for you on our show. I am not sure why, but I can only walk in trust and know that somehow we are connected through God. You have touch my heart and the hearts of many of our Fish Friends with your strength, smile and spirit. I look forward to getting a chance to meet you and your family and give you a BIG hug!
God Bless you and your family.
Hugs
