... I underwent three more years of treatment. Throughout this process, I had about two dozen spinal taps, several dozen blood draws, about 50 chemotherapy infusions, I lost my hair four times, I came to a point where I vomited up to 7 times per day, and I was hospitalized A LOT. My family, friends, and teachers were incredibly supportive of me, for which I have much to thank.
I’m currently completely off of treatment! I’m a healthy junior in high school who enjoys biking, designing for yearbook, reading, and refereeing.
