acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL)My name is Barron. I was diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) in May. I spent 35 days in the hospital and just completed 10 weeks of outpatient chemo. The doctors are very optimistic, and I am in remission right now. What got me through this very challenging journey and still continues to get me through is my faith, my family, my friends, and the support of others!

acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL)You never think it will happen to you until it does. Hearing the idea that you might have cancer was one of the darkest moments of my life. I was diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) in February 2023 at only 27 years old. I am a mom, a wife, a sister, a daughter, and a pediatric ICU nurse.

acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL)December 3, 2016, was the date that I was supposed to get married to KT. It was a Saturday. We had that date set for over a year, but there was no wedding—we canceled it the Tuesday before. KT informed most of our guests with an explanatory text: “So, I have some unfortunate news. We’re going to have to call off the wedding this weekend. Dust got cold feet…and leukemia.”

acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL)I was diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) on January 24, 2019. I hadn’t been feeling well for a while. I was having very odd symptoms. For example, I was having joint pains, I kept hearing this whooshing noise, my gums were bleeding, and the biggest symptom was I would get out of breath so easily. Walking up the steps of my apartment building felt like running a marathon.
