To continue raising awareness for childhood cancer this month, I’m finally sharing my story about my recovery from childhood leukemia. To help me, I’m passing the mic to my podcast manager, Kirsten Trammell to interview me about my childhood cancer experience and how it’s shaped my life.
When I was 8 years old, I was diagnosed with childhood leukemia, which sparked years of testing, hospital visits, and treatments that still left me with only about a 20% chance of survival. Despite this less-than-positive news, my family and I persevered and continued to follow the treatment plans that gave me the best odds.
Fast forward 41 years later, I’m celebrating another survivor milestone, overcoming not only the low chance of survival, but all of the other health complications that I was told I’d have as a result of the disease.
Learning that having a healthier home can help reduce the odds of childhood cancer and other health problems has fueled my calling in life to teach others about how to make a healthier space for themselves and their families.
So I’m so excited to be sharing my story with you today, and to continue raising awareness for childhood cancer and research efforts. If you want to know how to support funding and research, visit the links below to learn how.
