Fatigue to Leukemia – Renata | Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia | The Patient Story [Video]

Renata started having symptoms like extreme fatigue, shortness of breath, nausea, ear infections, and fevers. All those symptoms seemed to be explained when Renata found out she was pregnant, but that wasn’t the case.

After a routine OBG-YN appointment, they found Renata’s white blood cell count was extremely high, so her primary care doctor sent her to the emergency room an hour away in Philadelphia. This is where Renata found out she had Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL).

In this cancer vlog, Renata opens up about the reality of chemotherapy while being pregnant and how she was able to give birth to a healthy baby boy despite the odds being against her.
