I noticed some lymph nodes popped up on my neck so I went to the Dr. I didn't feel bad at all. My Dr. ordered blood work and my white blood count was high. I was sent to The Cancer Center of Acadiana for more blood work, scans, ultrasound and bone biopsy was done. After all the results came in my white blood count was 99,000 and I had 75% leukemia cells in my bone marrow. I was diagnosed with CLL. 4 days later I was in the Infusion room at The Cancer Center of Acadiana. After 5 months of chemo going 2 days every month I am leukemia free. For 7 months after chemo my immune system was wiped out and had to have shots every so many days to boost my immune system. That was 4 yrs ago. The Cancer Center of Acadiana wanted me to do a commercial for them which I did. It was a lot of fun! Having leukemia was scary at first but I did lots of praying and knew God was with me all the way. He truly was!
