Caregiver

March 16, 2013. I will never forget the moment I first saw the bump. We went to the pediatrician that afternoon. Our doctor looked at Eli and said, “Don’t worry. This is not cancer.”

My daughter Payton is a two-time cancer survivor. She had acute myeloid leukemia (AML). She had a cord blood transplant on March 8, 2012. She has a dog and a cat, and she loves camping, spending time with her family and playing outside with her friends. She thinks cancer is nasty and she hated it. She is a fighter.
