Piper’s Story
Shortly after her third birthday, Piper began experiencing fevers. After many tests, she was admitted to the infectious disease unit at Nationwide Children’s Hospital for a week and then transferred to the hematology department, where a bone marrow biopsy was performed. The results confirmed that Piper had leukemia.
She began a two-and-a-half-year treatment plan, which she bravely completed. At age five, Piper was declared cancer-free. Though she still goes in for regular monitoring, she is doing well today.
