myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN)

My name is Angela, and I have myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN), a rare blood cancer. I was diagnosed when I was 16. I had a series of blood tests done after being raped, and that began my cancer journey. I began cancer treatment even though at that time (the late 90s) my condition was known as a “blood disorder” not cancer.

I was first diagnosed at 12 years old when I didn’t even know what the word cancer meant. I remember sitting at the kitchen table with my family, laying my head down and sobbing because they told me I would lose my hair. I have lost my hair five times since.
