Learning I had Cancer – Loriana | Breast Cancer & Leukemia | The Patient Story [Video]

Loriana dismissed the warning signs of her first cancer, acute myeloid leukemia (AML), while trying to have a second baby. She was misdiagnosed twice before ending up at Johns Hopkins, where she spent a year battling AML. Five years after her bone marrow transplant, Loriana was diagnosed with breast cancer, likely related to the full-body radiation or her sister’s DNA used in the transplant.

Loriana shares her patient story, highlighting the importance of listening to your body, seeking multiple medical opinions when needed, and leveraging all available resources as you navigate the cancer world.
