A woman battling cancer for the third time thought she was being interviewed about baking a birthday cake for a 6-year-old girl facing a cancer diagnosis of her own, but now a video of her actual surprise has reached more than 90,000 views.
Mary Pat Seiss was 6 years old when she was diagnosed with cancer for the first time, Fox 29 reported. She was treated at Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) when it returned at age 9 and again when she relapsed in 2009.
Now 26, she works at Oakmont Bakery in Pittsburgh, which is where Jamies Dream Team, a Pennsylvania nonprofit organization, arranged for her brother who is in the U.S. Army and stationed in Fort Bragg, North Carolina to surprise her with tickets to Disneyland.

In a video interview before the surprise, Mary Pat said she wouldnt be able to get through her illnesses without the support of her two brothers.
We grew up together our whole lives, shes my best friend, Robert Seiss, her brother in the Army, said in a video. March or April when they called me and told me she got diagnosed again, it was probably the hardest thing Ive ever heard. Being thousands of miles away and just not being able to do anything but sit there and listen to a phone call.
