At the age of eight, Max Harris overcame aplastic anemia, a condition that occurs when your body stops producing enough new blood cells. Successful treatment led to his recovery and several years of good health.
Years later, a visit to the dentist confirmed that his health had taken a serious turn for the worse. Severely bleeding gums during his dental exam immediately prompted Max to see his physician. The unfortunate diagnosis – acute myelogenous leukemia.
Acute myelogenous leukemia is a cancer of the blood and bone marrow. Upon diagnosis, Max was faced with a challenging road ahead of him – induction chemotherapy followed by a bone marrow transplant. He shares his story of overcoming a potentially life threatening illness and how he lives his life to the fullest today.
Congratulations to you!!
My grandson at age 18 was diagnosed with AA. After years of illness he finished college, learned to play the banjo, was in a band. In the mean time had hips replaced. He is in remission but has an acute illness now and then. He is my hero as i have watched him fight to live a normal life. He now needs knee replacements. This all due to the medicines he was given to save his life. He turns 31 tomorrow. Bless him and bless you!! Thank you both for being so strong adn for fighting!!
