Laura Hendricks felt tired, but thought she had the same cold as her children. She had acute myeloid leukemia and she needed immediate treatment.
Treatment can include chemotherapy, monoclonal antibodies and stem cell transplants. When patients reach remission, they have normal blood counts, and there are no cancer cells in the bone marrow anymore, according to the Cleveland Clinic.“Because it’s so aggressive, you’re admitted to the hospital that day to start treatment as quickly as possible,” she says. “That was extremely overwhelming.
“I had that mentality that I was going to be a survivor,” she says. “What rooted me to survival … was my children and my husband and my family. Truly, I wanted to be their mom for the rest of their lives.” They focused on how she could get more and better quality sleep, practice gratitude, eat healthy and address some of those tough emotions she was facing as a survivor, like guilt.
“We really wanted to help support survivors,” Hendricks recalls. “That’s where we saw the of lack of resources."
