On today's podcast Deanna Fournier and Ana Valdez will discuss their battles against the blood cancer Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis, with Deanna being diagnosed at age 6 and Ana diagnosed 3 years after her symptoms began near the end of her pregnancy

Both Deanna Fournier and Ana Valdez suffered from the blood cancer Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis but at very different stages in their lives. Deanna , now the Director of the Histiocytosis Association, was diagnosed when she was 6 years old and Ana was diagnosed 3 years after her symptoms began to appear during the final trimester of her pregnancy. Both Deanna and Ana will talk about their involvement as they help other people who have been diagnosed with a form of cancer that is not as well known as many other forms of this disease.
