Barron

acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL)

My name is Barron. I was diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) in May. I spent 35 days in the hospital and just completed 10 weeks of outpatient chemo. The doctors are very optimistic, and I am in remission right now. What got me through this very challenging journey and still continues to get me through is my faith, my family, my friends, and the support of others! I continue to have a positive attitude every day and know that I will fight this! I’m here to help others in whatever way I can. Thank you so much!
