A little about me...

Hi! My name is Hillary. I am 22 years old. I am A college student/ major teaching young children. Some of my hobbies and interests... e-mail, writing letters, listening to music,walking in nature,watching movies.

Information about my illness...

In 1979, when I was 2 years old, I was diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia. I was treated at Lourdes Hospital Binghamton NY, relapse 1981 w/BMT @Sloan Kettering Memorial Hospital NYC. I had radiation, chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant.

My words to others...

My suggestions to other survivors are... Be Strong! God Makes All Things Beautiful In His Time.

The most important lesson I learned from my experience is... God has a purpose for all things. We learn from our experiences.

A positive outcome from my experience is... Having had cancer and survived cancer has made me different; But when I tell my experience to others around me I am able to help them grow. Some of the treatment that I had while I was in the hospital made my bones stop growing so I am not very tall; But I really enjoy working with young children and we are able to work with each other together.
