Inspirational Stories

This past week marked 100 days in remission post-transplant. I am 27 and was diagnosed about a year ago on November 8, 2023, with T-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Anyone who is familiar with this disease has an idea of what I've been through. This included numerous spinal taps, intense treatments, clinical trials, the horrible reactions and side effects of chemo and radiation, and lastly, the pure pain and exhaustion of a bone marrow transplant. I've spent over 100 days in the hospital these past nine months and the past 100 days at home recovering. To anyone who relates to my story, I want you to know you are beautiful, rock the shaved head, keep smiling, you are so strong. You will get through this, and there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Survivors of cancer are truly superheroes. I am so proud to have gone through this journey and will forever be blessed for all of the opportunities and people I have met under these circumstances.
