Becca was diagnosis on August 2010 with Biphenotypic Leukemia. She is a high risk individual with 2 forms of Leukemia AML & ALL. Went through 2 rounds of intense Chemo for AML and when that wasn't working Doctor's switched her to AAL protocal. She has had long hospital stays, one for 3 month straight. Also had to go through radiation as well. She is in maintenance that will end January 2013. Also she was just diagnosis with AVN = Avascular Necrosis due to one of the side effects of her maintenance prescription. This is a condition that effects her joints in her hips. She has trouble walking and going up stairs. A Hip replacement is in her future. She has a positive attitude throughout all this medical history. She keeps up her studies very well whether in school or home bound. She loves playing with her Wii, drawing and a Big Elvis Fan. The Doctors and Nurses at Hope Hospital, Oak Lawn really made the difference for her treatment. Plus Becca has received support from family and friends near and far especially from her friends at Forest Road School.
