Breeze Hunter, a 22-year-old Texas A&M student, initially brushed off her persistent fatigue and headaches as typical stress-related symptoms. After undergoing bloodwork prompted by a concerned doctor, she was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. Despite the shock of her diagnosis, she initiated treatment swiftly, enduring chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Hunter's health improved significantly, and she is now recovering with plans to participate in her graduation. Her story sheds light on the importance of recognizing serious health issues and showcases the resilience of young cancer patients.
"As soon as we found out, we just could not believe that it was actually happening that I had cancer. It's a very scary moment, and it almost doesn't feel real."
"To be considered in remission, a person with acute myeloid leukemia must have 5% or fewer blast cells in their body."
