Leukemia Lessons

Maria's life significantly changed both on June 18, 1999 when her mother Betty was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), and on August 29, 2001 when Betty reached her heavenly reward. Maria had never before spent time at Indiana University Medical Center. Maria had never interacted with an individual diagnosed with leukemia. For a little over 2 years, this Medical Center would be an important part of her life. Maria encountered many special people and was given tremendous support by family and friends during this incredible journey. Many valuable Leukemia Lessons were learned.
