Angie:
Hi, and welcome to this episode of Resilience Reborn. I’m Angie.
Trey:
And I’m Dre.
Angie:
We are very, very excited for our guests today. Hopefully, you guys have been tuning in and watching all the other episodes, but we had a few weeks ago, Amy Lux. She was talking about her daughter, Ayla, that battled childhood cancer and came out a superstar with that. And so today, we are very, very excited to actually have Ayla here with us. Hi, Ayla. How are you? Good. Good. We are so glad to
Trey:
be here
Angie:
with us. And we cannot wait to hear your story and hear how brave you were and still are today. So we’re gonna just dive right in. Okay? So could you tell us a little bit about your journey with neuroblastoma, the things that you remember or stories that you remember that that your family has told you? I remember, like,
Isla:
some of the feeling of, like, what it felt like. Like, I should remember, like, the nerve pain of it, like, being kind of like a fizzy pain. Mhmm. And then I mostly remember, like, the good parts of it. So, like, the people who would come in and, like, the dance therapist, I think that’s what it’s called.
Angie:
Oh, okay. Yeah.
Isla:
And the music with, like A music therapist? Yeah.
Angie:
Yeah. Okay. So your dance therapist, a music therapist. Uh-huh.
Trey:
And this was in the hospital?
Isla:
Uh-huh.
Trey:
Oh, nice.
Isla:
And I also remember, like, going to the playroom, which is at the bottom floor of the hospital, and just, like, always playing with, like, a once or in baby doll, which I loved so much. Oh. And it had, like, a little hospital setup, so, like, I could, like, basically, like
Trey:
Playing at the hospital?
Isla:
Yeah. Yeah.
Trey:
That’s kinda cool. What kind of baby doll was it? I didn’t hear.
Isla:
It was like it looked real. Like, maybe it was like a
Trey:
Like an American dog girl or something maybe?
Isla:
Maybe. I don’t remember exactly. I also remember, like, my brother was always there most of the time playing with me in the toy room. It was really fun because we got to do, like, pizza parties and stuff.
Angie:
Like real pizza parties?
Isla:
Yeah. Like, we would make pizzas and then we would eat them.
Angie:
Oh, in the playroom? Yeah. You got
Isla:
to make the pizzas? Yeah.
Angie:
Oh, wow. Okay.
Isla:
And then there would be, like, slime days where we get to make slime, and then, like, Play Doh. Mhmm.
Angie:
Aw. Okay. Anything else?
Isla:
Not really. It’s just like
Angie:
I love that you remember the good things. Yeah. More than you remember anything that was painful or bad. Right? Yeah. That’s really that, that is, like, how we’re resilient. Right? Those things somehow we tend to not remember the bad things about certain things just to make us even more resilient. Yeah?
Isla:
Mhmm. Mhmm.
Trey:
Yeah. We got a nice cutoff in our brain that shuts that kind of stuff. We’re out sometimes.
Angie:
That’s good. Yeah.
Trey:
But I think you also had, like, awesome support from your family. Like, your brother’s that’s great that he was there, right, all the time. That was probably comforting for you. Right?
Isla:
Yeah.
Trey:
And then your mom was there. Dad. Yep. Absolutely. All good.
Angie:
Okay. So let’s talk about being brave for a minute. Okay? So even though you were young and your family, I’m sure, has told you a 1000000 times how brave you were, all the things that you had to go through, What does bravery mean to you today? Like, what do you think that means?
Isla:
Like, it to me, it means, like, just go with it kind of, and, like, don’t be afraid to, like, try new things even if it, like, stops you from, like, doing
Trey:
Even if it makes you uncomfortable?
Isla:
Yeah.
Trey:
Yeah. I know that feeling.
Angie:
That you just you just gotta go with it and you gotta do it. Yeah. Because that’s
Isla:
what you have to do sometimes it’s just, like, what you have to do. Right.
Angie:
And so thinking back to when you were sick, you didn’t really have any other choice. Right?
Isla:
Yeah. No. I didn’t.
Angie:
Yeah. You just did it. Yeah.
Isla:
Yeah. There wasn’t really any thinking to it. I just had to
Angie:
Mhmm. Yeah. And so what do you think was one of a couple of huge things that helped you to be so brave?
Isla:
Just, like, always having someone, like, there with me Mhmm. And, like, knowing that it would be okay at the end. Mhmm.
Angie:
And you constantly had people telling you that we’re gonna get through this. Yeah. You’re gonna come out on the other side, and they were always there for you and your appointments and stuff. Right? Yeah.
Trey:
Yep. That’s so important.
Angie:
Yeah. Very good. So anything else that you think about when you think of bravery, just to go out there and do it?
Isla:
Yeah. Yeah. Go for it.
Angie:
Go for it. Yeah. You don’t have anything to lose.
Trey:
Now you’re so you’re 11 now
Isla:
Mhmm.
Trey:
And you’re starting to get into your older school, like, you know, 6th grade and stuff. Now are there different types of bravery that you have to go through at your school than different kinds of things like what you went through with when you were sick?
Isla:
Yeah.
Angie:
Yeah. Yeah. What are some of those? Like, you just started middle school.
Isla:
Yeah.
Angie:
And it’s a brand new school for you. Right? Uh-huh. Yeah? So how’s it been? Good. Yeah? Do you think back to those days about how you had to be somewhat brave or even even after you kind of battled the cancer and you came out on the other side, do you see some similarities with how you have to live your life now?
Isla:
Kind of. Just like what I think. Like, even, like, before I, like, do a test, kind of, like, just go for it, and what you get is what you get. And there’s always, like, something good on the other side
Angie:
Uh-huh.
Isla:
That no matter what happens, it just kind of happens.
Angie:
So it’s just your positive outlook. You seem very, very positive. Are you always positive?
Isla:
I mean, I like, I don’t think the worst of things. Mhmm. I just kinda look for the best in, like, things. Basically, everything.
Angie:
Oh, that’s really awesome. Because I feel like some people that have been through something like you’ve been through, it would be hard some days to really think positively. Right? But I think you, maybe you take that as like, look what I did get through. So that’s the worst it ever could be. Right? Is that sometimes how you feel?
Isla:
Yeah.
Trey:
Yeah. If you can get through that, you can get through anything. Yeah.
Angie:
Yeah. Oh, that’s awesome. Okay. Is there a story or a moment that your family shared with you about your fight that makes you feel really amazed or really proud? Is there any particular
Isla:
Like, my mom always tells me that, like, even if like, how bad I was feeling, I would always, like, try to make someone else feel better. Mhmm. Like, I would give other people, like, my popsicles that the doctors gave me. Even though we’re going through the same thing, I would try to make them feel better.
Trey:
Oh. And sometimes that’s the best way to get it out of your own head.
Isla:
Yeah.
Trey:
So that’s, yeah, that’s really good is to help someone else, and then you’re not thinking about all the stuff that could go wrong in your head.
Isla:
Mhmm. So well,
Trey:
That was sweet.
Angie:
Did you make lots of friends there? Yeah. Yeah. Tell us a little bit about that.
Isla:
So, like, there were maybe 3 or 4 other people that were basically going through the same thing as me even if they were, like, 4 years older than me. Like, it was really cool to see, like, other people. Like
Trey:
You know you weren’t alone.
Isla:
Yeah.
Trey:
Like, you weren’t the only one that had to go through that kind of stuff. Yeah. Kinda like a support. Yeah. Mhmm.
Angie:
And so now where did you go and play with them and like, were you able to do that there with those friends that you made and spend a lot of time with them?
Isla:
Like, we would go on, like, walks around the hospital kinda. Uh-huh. And I would ride on, like, the I don’t know what you call it.
Trey:
This is like a train or something that went around the
Isla:
It’s like an ID pool. ID pool. And I’ll write on the bottom. Oh.
Angie:
Oh, okay. So you Push it. Yeah. Your IV is okay. Gotcha. Okay. And so y’all would go do that together? Kind. Yeah.
Angie:
Okay. Okay. Did you make pizza with them, or was that just with your brother?
Isla:
I think I made it, like, maybe once. Can’t really remember.
Angie:
Yeah. Okay.
Trey:
Is there 1 or 2 people that really stick out in your mind? Like, you just couldn’t imagine being, like, not being them not being there with you as far as, like, the friends that you made there, any anybody that was just really, very important for what you were going through? Do you remember?
Isla:
Definitely my brother, but also, like, definitely, like like, do you mean family members?
Trey:
Not necessarily.
Isla:
Or maybe
Trey:
by the time Maybe maybe one of your friends in the in the hospital or
Isla:
There is someone named Trucker, which is like my best friend, and there was like a little prom thing kind of. Okay. And that was fun where we like, I got to go with him and a couple other people.
Angie:
Oh, did you dress up?
Isla:
Yeah. What did you wear?
Angie:
Like a real dress? Like a real dress.
Isla:
Yeah. Like a yellow dress. It was really nice and I think I still have it. It’s really tiny.
Angie:
Oh, yeah. And did you have, like, a little crown or anything? Did you wear, like, a tiara
Isla:
or anything? Maybe. Okay. Probably a headband. Okay. So they had, like, a little dance for you guys? Yeah. Okay.
Angie:
And you went with what was his name? Trucker. Trucker. Okay. Aw, that’s neat.
Isla:
And it was really fun.
Angie:
Aw, okay. Very cool. Okay. So have you ever been scared since then? Like, tell us how if you ever get scared about all the things that you went through, or do you have, like, scary memories from that? I mean, yeah. But, like, not like, I don’t
Isla:
Getting hurt is not like a big fear to me because it’s not the worst thing in the world just like but like, sometimes I forget that I ever had cancer because, like, the way other people treat me, and they just treat me like a normal human being. It’s
Angie:
Mhmm. Right. And people that you meet, they don’t know it unless you tell them. Yeah. Right? So you like that. Right? Yeah. Do you like that?
Isla:
Or do you like to tell your story? I mean, it’s always like like people always are like like not amazed, but like
Angie:
Oh, I think they’re amazed. I’m amazed. To hear We are amazed.
Isla:
To hear that, but like I don’t always sell it to people because like
Angie:
Yeah. It’s just if it comes up. Right? Yeah. Yeah. But it’s something you’re proud of.
Isla:
Yeah. And I’m not scared to tell anybody that.
Trey:
Well, I’m I’m we that’s why we are so appreciative of you here because I’m sure there’s just gonna be some people out there listening that will go through the same thing, and they’re listening to your voice.
Angie:
And they get to see all of this with you and just exactly how brave you are. So you should be amazed at everything you’ve been through. And it should be a really positive thing that you do when you tell people, like, look what I did. Right? So you never feel, like, scared at all much, really?
Isla:
No. Not really. Like, I mean, I still get, like so I’ll get nervous before I, like, do some things, but not as, like, much as, like
Trey:
It’s not gonna stop you.
Isla:
Yeah. Yeah.
Angie:
Like, do you still have to do, like, doctor’s appointments and stuff like that just to have checkups and things like that? Yeah. Okay. Do you get nervous at those a little bit or they’re just Not really because,
Isla:
like I said, like, if it happens, it happens. There’s nothing I can really do Mhmm. Except for, like, hope for the best.
Angie:
Mhmm. Oh, your perspective is amazing. So good. Okay. Let’s keep checking. Okay. So this is a big one. If you were to meet other kids that are going through something like this that you went through, what are some words of advice you would give them? Like, what would you say to them?
Isla:
Never give up and just, like, think the best Mhmm. And hope for the best, and just be brave and be confident and just listen to the people around you because they can help, and don’t think that you’re alone because there’s so many people that can help you. Mhmm. Mhmm.
Angie:
And you felt that. Right? Yeah. You felt that a lot.
Isla:
Yeah. Yeah. Because I don’t think I was, like, ever alone when I Probably not.
Angie:
Probably not. I can’t imagine. I think your mommy was there with you
Isla:
Yeah.
Angie:
By your side 24/7. Right? Uh-huh. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Okay. So that they just need to love the people around them and take all the support that they can get. Yeah. And just be brave. Mhmm.
Angie:
Yeah.
Trey:
Do you think that your positivity, that that thought of, well, it is what it is. Let’s just get it done, kind of mentality. The positive, do you think that helped a lot, like, any of your actual healing and everything? Do you think that was a big part of it? Yeah. I think it was too.
Isla:
Mhmm.
Trey:
Yeah. So I think that’s a huge message to stay positive. Right? Yeah. That’s so powerful.
Angie:
And I know when your mom came on, she was talking about how she was always really positive with you. Yeah. And so that probably helped you tremendously because you didn’t know anything other than positivity. Right? Yeah. And you saw all the people there that were fighting for you, and they were just lifting you up. So I think that that probably helped fuel that, and I think it probably instilled in you that if you have this positive mindset that everything, it can be okay.
Isla:
Mhmm.
Angie:
Yeah. Oh, that’s really awesome. Do you have any questions you wanna ask?
Trey:
Yeah. I like the ones you’re asking.
Angie:
Okay. When you think about everything that you went through. Okay? What is maybe one thing that you think is the best thing that you overcame about the situation? We know cancer. Right? We know that you’re super duper proud that you overcame that. But is there something else, maybe a little deeper that you are proud that you overcame besides beating cancer? Like anything that came with it. That’s kind of a hard question.
Isla:
Kind of like, I mean, like, I was kind of scared that people would, like, judge me for, like because I had no hair. Mhmm. But nobody really cared. Mhmm. And I just, like, stopped thinking that, I guess. So
Angie:
judgment. Right? Yeah. That’s a really, really good one. And the fact that you had to learn that at such a young age. Because most of us don’t And it’s not till we’re older that we’re like, oh, we’re not gonna let people judge us, or we or we don’t care anymore. And you were like, this is me, and this is just who I am. And I love that. Yeah.
Angie:
I really love that you thought of that one thing because yeah. Nobody else knows what you’re going through and what you’re walking through, and that’s really awesome. You’re so mature. Aren’t you? You’re mature. You are. You’re so mature for your age. Okay. How do you think surviving cancer has made you who you are today? I mean, you’ve just given us a ton of things that I can point out, but I want you to try and tell me.
Angie:
So how do you think that that has impacted you and made you the Isla that you are today?
Isla:
Just, like, don’t let people get in your way, and don’t let people stop you from being you. Mhmm. And just, like, go for it kind of. Yes. Mhmm.
Angie:
So that shaped you? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. You already kinda said this, but I want you to tell anybody who’s listening that it’s the same thing that you’re going through or something very similar. K? You have to tell them one most important thing. 1. And I don’t know. Maybe there is one piece of advice that anybody else gave you.
Angie:
I don’t know if anything sticks out in your head that somebody said. But if you could tell them one thing, what would you say?
Isla:
Just like believe and don’t stop believing in what can happen.
Angie:
Yep. So I got this out.
Trey:
I want to go back to it, because I really love the stories about it. Like, you riding on the IV and making a pizza and going to the dance with Trucker. Like, what other things do you remember? You know, whether it was when you were at the hospital or or when you came home, do you remember anything else that was just it it just made it that much easier for you?
Isla:
I remember, like, when I would come home, I would always come home to, like, everyone being there.
Trey:
Yeah. I’m sure.
Isla:
And it was like like my grandpa and my grandma and, like, really everyone was around me was, like, a big part in it, and they, like, treated me normally, and it was
Trey:
Comforting, kinda?
Angie:
Yeah. Do you feel like you got special treatment?
Isla:
Kind of.
Angie:
Kind of. But you felt like it was normal. Right? Yeah. Because you just said you felt like it was just normal routines. Right? Mhmm. Yeah.
Trey:
So something that your mom said on our podcast, she had said that you didn’t even realize till you’re older that cancer could actually take your life.
Isla:
Yeah.
Trey:
Right? So tell me about that. You just thought, nah. I’m just sick. I’m just going to get better. And, yeah, I mean, I think that’s such a great attitude. When you found that out, what did you think?
Isla:
Like, I don’t know. Like, I was just because I don’t know. She was just telling me, like, about, like, all the people who have, like, died from cancer and how it’s because it’s just, like, the worst. Like, it just happens, and it’s nothing. Like Yeah.
Trey:
You don’t know why. It just happens. It’s yep. It’s scary. And for for someone so young, I mean, you you’ve been going through you were going through that for a lot of years, and, like, you sitting here on this couch today, you just seem, like, perfectly comfortable in your skin, perfectly happy to help anybody that that needs the help and and share your story, and I think that’s amazing.
Angie:
How did you feel when they said the words you’ve beat this? How’d you feel? Do you remember?
Isla:
I mean, I just remember being, like, happy, but, also, I didn’t know what time I was. How old was I? 4?
Angie:
Well, 6.
Isla:
- I didn’t really know what I beat exactly, but I was
Trey:
Sometimes it’s better
Isla:
that way. Yeah.
Angie:
And so you just thought that it was just normal? Yeah. Yeah? Wow. And so now thinking back on it, and now that you know more and you’re older, how does that make you feel? Like, are you like, wow? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And as you hear, like, I’m sure that you have conversations with your mom about all of this. Like you said you mentioned you only really remember the nerve pain. Right? So I’m sure that people have told you all the things that you have to go through.
Angie:
Right? So are you amazed at what your little body could handle and what it went through and and just how I mean, I I I know I keep saying the word, but resilient that, you know, that you were able to handle all that. Isn’t that, like, kinda awesome? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Aw.
Trey:
And I I I wanna say that, she had mentioned your mom had mentioned that your brother actually thought maybe he had a port at one time for chemo. Is that funny?
Isla:
Because, like, he thought that he, like, had done that when he was younger.
Trey:
Like, that was just part of it. Right? Part of growing up. Yep. Yeah. But I think that speaks to how your family had made your surroundings Like, it wasn’t a big deal. Like, we were just no matter what, we were just gonna fight to the end, and it was gonna get through it. And
Isla:
Mhmm.
Trey:
I think that speaks volumes, because I think that, yeah, I think that helps your mindset for sure.
Angie:
And do you have a really good relationship with your brother? What’s your brother’s name? Elliott. Elliott.
Isla:
Mhmm. And then my younger one’s Owen.
Angie:
Yes. But you said Elliott was with you Yeah. All the time. Right?
Isla:
Uh-huh.
Angie:
Yeah. And so do you have a really good relationship with him now?
Isla:
Yeah.
Angie:
Yeah. Yeah. Does he ever talk about it and tell you any stories or anything really?
Isla:
Not really. Unless, like, unless my family brings it up, and then he’s just, like, they asked him Mhmm. If he remembers anything. Other than that, he’s just Mhmm. Not really.
Angie:
Yeah. Yeah. Aw. Is there anything else you wanna share that you wanna talk about or you wanna tell anybody that’s listening that I have that we haven’t covered or just anything you wanna talk about?
Isla:
Not really. Like Not really? I just kinda, like I don’t really think there’s anything else. Okay.
Trey:
Let me let me ask you this. What made you because this was your decision. You wanted to come on the podcast and talk about this. What made you wanna do that?
Isla:
I don’t know. I just, like, I guess, like, I just wanna, like, help other people kind of, like I don’t know.
Trey:
Sometimes when people hear a story that someone else has gone through, it gives them a little bit of hope.
Isla:
Yeah. Like, it encourages them to, like, keep fighting no matter what they’re going through.
Trey:
Yeah.
Angie:
Yeah. And I I feel like if there was anybody listening that you could be a really, really awesome person that, like, they could write a letter to or something like that. Right? And I don’t know if there were any other people that, you know, kids that were with you that survived. Did any of them battle it like you did? Do you know?
Isla:
L There are some? Yeah. There’s, like most of them did, and there’s a couple that didn’t. Okay. But it’s just like Do you keep
Angie:
in touch with them? Do you
Isla:
Yeah. So, like, so there’s like a little it’s called Curefest, and it’s where, like, all the people’s families with, like, people that are battling cancer Mhmm. Or have gone through cancer, go to this, like, event. And then there’s, like, little, like, shots kind of where you can just get stuff and there’s, like, performances. And this is next week too.
Angie:
Oh. So, like Oh. Yes. Because it’s a child , is it because it’s childhood cancer awareness month that that’s why they’re having it now? Yeah. Okay. Well, tell us about that.
Isla:

Isla:
Like, people from all over the world come to it.
Trey:
Oh, wow.
Angie:
Oh, awesome. And so it’s just this big event. Yeah. And what will you do there? And you’ve been going to these. Do you go to them every year?
Isla:
For, like, probably, like, 6 years.
Angie:

And there’s, like, shops where it’s, like, free, but Mhmm. And it’s really cool because, like, you can you get little, like there’s, like, a my favorite place to go at Curefest is a little shop where there’s, like, stuffed animals, and there’s like a you stuff them yourself and

Trey:
So they have, like, a stage for you to
Isla:
go to
Trey:
the phone? Oh, wow. Mhmm. And that doesn’t make you nervous either,
Isla:
No. Not really. Because it’s, like, it’s people that are going through the same thing so they can, like, see it’s just
Angie:
They get to see you where you are now Yeah. Even if they’re where you were so many years ago.
Isla:
And they can see what they like, how they can be How it works out for them.
Angie:
Right? Mhmm. Oh, that’s so cool. And just to inform everybody that’s listening, you are really passionate about dancing. Aren’t you? Yeah. Yes? Okay. And I think that your mom said that she thinks a lot of that may have come from when you were younger, and you’d like you mentioned, you had the dance therapist. Right? And so you really got into dance, and that’s helped you a whole lot. Right?
Isla:
I’ve always liked it, that was my dream when I was little. Just like I wanted to dance so bad. Mhmm.
Angie:
And so now you are in dance. What type of dance do you take? Do you do all kinds? So do you tap?

Angie:
Okay. Very cool. So and you prepare this solo or whatever and you’re able to do that at the Cure Fest? Mhmm. Okay. So does your dance studio help you prepare that, or do you do it all on your own?
Isla:
No. Well, there’s normally a teacher which would, like, choreograph it for you and help you, like, clean it. Mhmm. And they, most of the time, come with me to Curefest. Okay. That’s where I perform it, and they get to kind of watch. Yeah. Mhmm.
