- Renée was 18 when she started noticing bruises all over her body. At first, she thought the bruising was normal because she was a cheerleader and dancer. But after she had her wisdom teeth removed, her health rapidly declined, prompting her mom to bring her to the hospital. She was then diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia and was told she had a less than 25% chance of making it through the night, let alone the week.
In this conversation, she shares how she processed her diagnosis at 18, the intense treatment she underwent and how her diagnosis still impacts her today.

She was dealt a hand that nobody should have to deal with. Especially so young.
That is so rough. I feel bad for her all. She knows her whole adult life is cancer. I pray she has a better future. She deserves a break and health❤
This is awful 😢
I pray that she’s doing much better now..
Renee, you are a heroine to me because you are willing to share your horrible health crisis with all of us.
I have a manageable version of leukemia and got it at age 85.
I survived 10 years of lymphoma and suddenly leukemia reared its ugly head!
Am taking Imbruvica which was probably not available when you suffered your horror!
It is a miraculous medication, but with leukemia you just don't know.
I am keeping my fingers crossed!
God bless you, Renee!
Thank you for sharing,my friend
You have been through a lot for someone so young
Warm Hugs 🤗
My daughter, at 25, suddenly developed some complications and after a plethora of tests, was diagnosed with Severe Aplastic Anaemia. She is an only child, so doesn't have a chance of stem cell transplant.
She had been treated with immunosuppressant therapy. After a rollercoaster journey, her blood parameters reached an optimal level. About a month back, doctors started tapering off her immunosuppressant.
We have to see how she responds.
I totally understand the trauma, mental and physical. My daughter was just settling with her job and had a lot of ambition when she was diagnosed with a rare deadly disease.
I dread for her every moment of my waking hours and that's a lot.
At her age, she wants to do so much, but the universe has got a different plan .
Dear Renae, l pray for you to be cured it is unbelievable that you ended up with 2 different cancers ~ what are the odds, again just so unbelievable. I'm sure God has a great plan for you because lord knows you deserve it. Please forgive my ignorance. Bless you dear, bless you. 🙏🕊✌️
How is she doing today? It just cut off the story!

Can we please have an update on this young Lady
Thank you 🙏
Please post more about and focus more on symptoms no matter how small or big, and focus on how doctors reacted. I'm a victim of medical gaslighting, my doctor waited 9 days to call me back and tell me what I already knew to tell me I have a "liver disease" but we argued back and forth because she wanted to leave it there at that without doing any other imaging (they had only done an upper right/half quadrant ultrasound by this time) and I had taken a year of spreading acute and chronic pain. She wanted to leave me with a "you have liver disease at 28 with a 1 year old but besides that everything else is mostly reassuring" with no follow up... But did ask if I had cancer in my family, my grandma died from leukemia, and we have breast cancer on both sides among a new lymphoma diagnosis in the family.
Now after a CT scan, I'm waiting for a follow up with her "colleague" God it's sure nice too be an undesirable patient, because now just in-between this two months I have a mass in-between my breasts like a unicorn 🦄 ugh 😩
I'm so tired of explaining over and over again and they act like we enjoy new symptoms... YES Doc I love coming here to talk about undesirable things. FTS and FC
