My name is Julian Martinez. I would first like to say may God Bless all of you that are dealing with cancer or those who have survived. You are very strong willed and are the reason others keep hope. My supervisor/mentor has a niece that has just been recently diagnosed with AML. I feel really horrible for her. Her niece is only 14. I've been doing my research and see that children younger than her have survived and are still living as we speek. I've been doing research on this type of cancer, but the real research I believe comes from survivors and people that might be going through this. The reason I decided to write this message was for messages of hope and faith from survivors or those who know someone that has survived. My mentor's niece is scared and believes that she is going to die. I was hoping that if you have a survival story if you wouldn't mind sharing it with me to pass on to her. Once again thank you for all the support you can give. I will continue to keep all you in my prayers.
