There was a couple of friends that I had, and they had both died from it. Not too long after, I'm like, the only one that's alive now that I met. And you? How long did you fight it? How long was that? Was the battle for it to win. To overcome it before it went into remission? Well, I was in the hospital for seven months, and I was finally cured when I was eight. So from that time on, I had been taking medicine and still going back to the hospital and getting bone marrow. And until I was eight and one day, you know, they said, you're cured. That was it. So it took us six years to finally cure me. Did you think you would ever be cured? Yes. I believed my mom, believe my dad believed. My family believed. So I believed. Aside from all the work that the nurses did, all the work that the doctors did and all the support group at the hospitals and all the other medical people. Do you do you attribute anything else to to this miracle cure? I just, you know, nothing really. I'm just happy, you know, I can look back on it and I can look at my scrapbooks and things.

And so what did they do? Just one day they came in and said. Stacey. Well, I went for another checkup, as I usually did, and my doctor was about to leave in like a year or so. And he told me he gave me one last checkup and he said, well, I'm sure you know, he did X-rays and blood tests and things like they usually done the results came back and he said, You're here. Was he amazed? Yeah. And I guess all the folks that I work with all those years were kind of amazed, too Happy, but. Yeah. Most of my nurses and and other people that helped me through it and everything they had left, they didn't. They had been transferred or, you know, moved away. So but we got in contact with the ones out we were closer to. So we told them and they were happy and excited for me too. So if there are other kids who are really sick, what is your message to them? TI Just believe, you know, I remember, you know, not before I was cured, you know, I'm glad I didn't let it bother me. I mean, I knew I was still there, but I didn't let it bother me. And I just.

You take it to the doctors and they tell you you got leukemia. Leukemia. What did. What was going through your mind? Well, I don't think that I was really thinking about the fact that she was ill. I was more or less thinking that. I needed to keep her life as normal as possible. She was going to have a lot of treatments, and I didn't want her to associate me or my husband with that torture. And that's what it is. So I was very strict about where she was when they picked her up. You know, I wouldn't let them take her out of my arms and they had to take her from the crib. And I was there for her when she came back from the treatment rooms. But I mean, as far as what was going through your mind for you personally, not necessarily how you were going to handle this with her, but what were you thinking? I mean, here was your little girl, your only child. It had to be it had to be devastating to you first. It wasn't. It really wasn't. I never thought that she was sick.

And so after six years, she say when the doctor just came and said, you know, that was the hardest. That was the hardest day. That was how so? Because it was our last visit to Hopkins. And her doctor told her that he was leaving. Dr. Lu Straus was leaving and going to Chicago or somewhere. And the fact that he was leaving, he was our security blanket and that we weren't needing to come back there anymore. That was a second security blanket. It was like ripping both of them away.

You brought her home and you had I mean, I guess it was almost it was it was difficult to believe that you didn't have to take her back any more, that you were all on your own. I was on my own. We were on our own. I had to rely again on my strict instincts on whether or not things were right or not. And I try not to exaggerate any little ailment that she had.
