A lexington family is finally together and back at home again tonight.

The last two months... flipping their lives upside down.

Nicole hopper took her daughter to the hospital on may 10th...two months ago...because she was having severe stomach pain and throwing up.

A few days later...doctors diagnosed the six old girl...leorah ...with stage four leukemia.

As abc 36's monica harkins reports she's currently cancer free...but still has six more months of chemotherapy to go.

L3: abc 36 weekend edition white leorah hopper 6-year-old battling cancer ### "nicole:the doctor drew her bowel, he drew the tumor on his little whiteboard, and it's just disbelief," nicole hopper... couldn't believe it...when doctors told her, her daughter had cancer.

"now you're telling me there's a tumor and now you're telling me that it's cancer.

Now you tell me she's going to have chemotherapy, it's, it's a lot that goes through your mind as a parent, and and to be alone because of covid."

Feeling alone...as she told the oldest of her three children...six year old leorah...has stage four burkitt's leukemia.

"nicole:so she has been through two bowel surgeries.

Lots of bone marrow biopsies.

Lots of lumbar punctures.."

And of course chemotherapy.

"nicole:and so the hardest part is the mom has been seeing times when she loses herself.

When her eyes change and the way she's behaving is not her.

" but they came up with a remedy...using a character from the disney movie moana who is a lava monster when part of her is missing..so when leorah isn't feeling herself she flips the necklace to the lava monster.

"nicole:then when she feels more like herself she turns it back around and mommy, on this person, this is me right now.

" here's leorah telling her sister avery about it over facetime.

"leorah: the necklace reminds of who i really am.and avery... you need to remember who you really are, too."

A six year old's strength...that makes her leorah strong.

Saturday july 11..after two months and a day...a milestone...leorah got to leave the hospital cancer free...and finally go home.

"cheers" "nicole: the prayers are what have made the biggest difference, and the encouragement, the positive energy, the prayers.

Thank you, seems so incredibly small, i've said it so much."

I got to meet leorah too.

"monica: hi are you happy to be home?..smiles and nods her head."

While normally a social butterfly..

She was feeling a little shy..but nothing beats being home again with her family...at least for a little while.
