COLLIERVILLE, Tenn. -- A teen who is undergoing chemotherapy for the second time recently got a sweet surprise from her homecoming date.
Allie Allen was diagnosed with anaplastic ependymoma when she was 14 years old, according to Mashable.
She recently relapsed and had to undergo chemotherapy and shave her head once again.
On top of all of that, Allie's mother, Debbi, was diagnosed with breast cancer.
Despite all of the setbacks, Allie hasn't let cancer slow her down.
"I have been getting extremely sick and weak, which I really hate," Allie wrote on her GoFundMe page. "It's so hard going from being an active dancer to not even being able to stand up long enough to brush my teeth some days. But it all comes in waves — one day I won't be able to walk or talk or eat much, while the next day I can feel fine and have energy to do whatever!"
On her GoFundMe page, Allie wrote that the part she dreaded most was shaving off all of her hair.
Allie became nervous about attending her homecoming dance with a shaved head, but her homecoming date surprised her.
"Brayden Carpenter shaved his head prior to the dance so Allie would feel comfortable," Allie's mom wrote on her Facebook page. "Allie had no clue until he showed up! Now that is class!!!"
Although Allie didn't feel totally comfortable with her shaved head, she said she really appreciated the support from her date.
