Hey Y’all!

Let me reintroduce myself, I’m Paris! I am a daughter, sister, dog mom, CNA, and friend. I love to bake, cook, paint, hike, workout, and help those in need. On December 16th, 2022 I was diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia or CML for short. It is a rare form of blood cancer that is even more rare for someone my age. Typically it is very treatable with a form of targeted chemotherapies called TKI’s. I have tried 3 and unfortunately none of them worked for me. Due to this I will be receiving traditional chemo and a bone marrow transplant in late July. I will be required to stay in the hospital for about 30 days and 60 days in medical housing in Seattle for daily monitoring after. After all of this is said and done, I should be CURED from leukemia!

Unfortunately due to treatment I have been unable to work and have exhausted all of my medical leave. I lost my job back in December and bills have started to pile up. From hospital stays, weekly transfusions, medications, needing assistive devices, etc it’s all adding up very quickly. Anything you can donate whether it be monetary, positive vibes, or prayer, anything you can give to support me is gratefully appreciated. I have set up a CaringBridge page as well for those who would like to follow the updates through my journey.

Lots of love,

Paris
