Well, Bree's not two anymore.
Bree was diagnosed in October of 1990 at the age of 2 years and 1 month of age, with Leukemia, specifically, Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia.
What a difference fifteen years makes, huh?
After her initial phase of treatment, about one month, Bree reached remission. However, her treatment wasn't over just yet. She continued treatment for another two and a half years.
After 5 years off of treatment, cancer free, Bree was considered to be a Long-Term Survivor. Bree has been in remission since one month after diagnosis, or for about 15 and a half years.
She never suffered a relapse.
Today, Bree is a high school senior and a cheerleader. Her desire upon graduating is to continue her education in college to study medicine and become a doctor to "payback and honor those doctors who cured me".
Bree is also a committee member of Snowdrop Foundation.
Thanks to Bree's mother, Jana, for providing this information to Snowdrop Foundation.
