Samantha's Story

This is Samantha's Story:
My name is Samantha O'Hagan and I'm 14 years old. I was diagnosed with stage IV Rhabdomyosarcoma on September 12th, 2014, when I was 13. I was completely healthy, so I thought, and nothing bothering me except some wheezing that became troublesome. My Dr's, myself and my parents had no idea there was a tumor growing next to my esophagus. During a Dr's visit for a tonsillectomy the Dr. noticed a lump and ordered an MRI that day. After testing and scans we learned I had several tumors all over my body as it had metastasized.

I started chemo in September 2014, and will continue with weekly treatments until my cancer is gone.
