My name is Emily and I’m a 3 time cancer survivor. I have been dealing with cancer for half my life now. I was first diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia at 9 years old. I was treated with 4 rounds of chemotherapy and achieved remission after about 6 months. A little over a year later I was told my cancer had returned. This time I received 1 round of chemo and a bone marrow transplant. Thankfully my younger sister was a 10/10 match and donated her bone marrow to save my life. The transplant was successful and I was able to try my best to return to normal life. Shortly after celebrating my 7 years post-transplant, I was diagnosed with a secondary cancer, Ewing Sarcoma. They found a large mass in one leg that took up most of my femur and the surrounding soft tissue and another smaller tumor in my other femur. I was halfway through my senior year once again getting ripped away from my everyday life and thrown into a hospital bed to be poked like a pin cushion and pumped full of poison. I endured 14 rounds of chemo, 8 hour tumor resection surgery, and 35 sessions of radiation. I will be starting my freshman year of college at Cal Poly SLO in the Fall majoring in biomedical engineering. I have started a nonprofit organization to benefit children battling cancer called Golden Positivity. Cancer has been difficult but I am so thankful for these experiences and would not wish it away because I would not be the person I am today. I have learned what matters most in life, which is not hair and I have learned to find positivity in even the worst situations. There is always something to smile about!Thank you for supporting me and the more than 300,000 kids worldwide who will be diagnosed with cancer this year. By sharing the gifts of your time, talent and money with the St. Baldrick's Foundation, you're supporting research to give all kids with cancer a better chance for a cure.
