Kiersten is
Blood Cancer United

When I was 38 weeks pregnant, I found a lump on my neck. Doctors couldn't test anything until after my son was born.

In February of 2015, my happy and healthy baby boy, Elliot was born. Just one month later, I was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma. I started chemotherapy in April and after 12 rounds, there was no trace of cancer found in my body.

Now I'm ready to enjoy raising my first child without going through chemotherapy while giving back to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society!
