T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL)

I was diagnosed in late February 2023 with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). I had 810,000 white blood cells that were all cancerous. I have made a recovery, but I’m still in the process of recovering. I’ve met amazing people along the way. I have around two years left of treatment at the Children’s Hospital of Michigan. I still think of this whole experience as amazing because of all the people I met and all the things I’ve gotten to do such as my Make-A-Wish trip to Nintendo World in Los Angeles.
