Sobreviviente de Leucemia Mieloide Aguda

Hartsdale, NY

El 6 de octubre de 2015, cuando tenía 26 años de edad, me diagnosticaron leucemia mieloide aguda (AML, por sus siglas en inglés). Un mes después, estaba en remisión. Terminé seis meses de quimioterapia y estoy tan agradecida de haber vuelto a mi vida normal.

Una cosa de la cual me di cuenta enseguida es que, cuando una persona recibe el diagnóstico de cáncer, también lo hacen sus amigos y familia. Esta travesía no la he hecho yo sola, sino con el amor y el apoyo de las personas que amo.
