Harper was diagnosed with T-cell leukemia on 10/6/21. She has fought for two and a half years and is due to ring the bell this coming Monday 3/4/24.
She got sick and had this lingering cough that wouldn’t go away. I took her back to the doctor several times and they sent us away. She was also having weird symptoms prior to this that had me worried. Finally they did an xray and found a melon sized tumor in her chest which lead to diagnosis. Her treatment includes chemotherapy, steroids, lumbar punctures, bone marrow aspirations, blood transfusions, and so much more.
This has robbed us of time. I was so focused on my child with cancer that her two sisters were left in the background a lot. Cancer has brought anxieties to her sisters that we’re trying to manage. It truly affects the whole family, not just the patient in so many different ways.
Through it all, she is our real life superhero!
