Living LFS: Marjorie- 18 Years of Surviving

In honor of September being Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, Living LFS did a profile on me.

Surviving Childhood Cancer can leave quite an impact. Not only are there long term health effects from intense treatments, there are often emotional scars left. Children undergoing treatment miss out on many normal activities and this can shape how they approach the future. Sometimes the things that childhood cancer survivors look forward to the most are basic milestones, birthday celebrations, getting married, having a family.

Marjorie was 12 when she was diagnosed with leukemia. After 3 years of chemo, she finally had the chance to get back to normal and was about to start the next chapter in her life, marriage when she was diagnosed with Breast cancer. She got married and is now in the midst of her greatest adventure to date- Parenthood.  We will hear some more from Marjorie next month about Breast Cancer, wedding planning and how she approached starting a family after multiple cancers.  Marjorie is a childhood cancer survivor, a blogger, a wife, an advocate and now mom.  Read more!
