"I was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), and to be honest, I wasn't tripping at first because I had no idea what that meant. Then my mom explained to me that I had [blood] cancer. I went from ending my junior year, to celebrating my 17th birthday, to getting my port installed, to starting chemo all in the same month." BloodCancer is called a lot of different things, including Hodgkin lymphoma for Izarhea. Sometimes, the best thing we can do is get the message out that we are HERE and ready to help. 📢 That’s where you come in. Double tap to stand with everyone affected during #BloodCancerAwarenessMonth and #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth ❤️ This is Blood Cancer. Read Izarhea’s story 👉 https://bit.ly/4gOOVO2 #BCAM24
