On December 7th, 2021 I went to urgent care for what I thought was a sinus infection and 14 hours later was rolled into the cancer care unit. I was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and taken by ambulance from where I lived in Tacoma to Clackamas where I would be receiving the rest of my treatment. Since then I have received my first round of chemo and have been closely monitored at the hospital.
