Cancer fears me! I am a survivor of 24 years! I had childhood cancer and am here to tell the story. I relay because I was one month old when I was diagnosed with a rare form of eye cancer known as Retinoblastoma. This is a childhood cancer that I developed at conception. I fought a very long and very hard battle for three years. At one month, a large tumor was found in my right eye, and I had surgery to remove the tumor and my eye. I have a prosthetic eye. Over the next few years, two other separate tumors developed in my left eye. The first tumor in my left eye was successfully removed using different types of therapies. But the second tumor in my left eye didn't react as well to therapies. |
