I'm sharing the story of my younger sister, Faith. Her senior year of high school was off to a great start! She was Senior Class President, crowned Homecoming Queen, and was eagerly applying to many colleges around the country. However, she had been plagued by intermittent fevers, terrible knee pain, and fatigue. On November 11, 2020, after visiting a plethora of specialists, she received the devastating diagnosis that she had acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).
She was immediately admitted to the Aflac Cancer Center at Egleston to begin a two and a half year protocol of treatment. For the first 10 months, she went to Aflac at least once a week for chemotherapy. On September 15, 2021, the day before leaving for the University of California Santa Barbara (UCSB), she finished her frontline treatment and began maintenance.
Faith completed her chemotherapy treatment on March 3, 2023. She is a recent graduate of UCSB and is currently attending the University of Southern California Dental School. She is a fighter, warrior, and enthusiastic ball of energy!
