from Help and Hope Happen Here · host Mark Levine
After experiencing headaches, tiredness, and swollen lymph nodes, Laura Davis took her 14 year old son Cole to the doctor in January of 2020 where the thought was that he might have had Mononucleosis. Instead, after a test showed that Cole's white blood cell count was over 300,000, his diagnosis came back as T Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Laura will talk about the 2 and a half year treatment that Cole endured, including a critical shortage of the drug Erwinaze that Cole needed which finally was found and provided by Angels For Change Director Laura Bray. Cole is now a high school senior at the age of 17, he has been cancer free for 9 1/2 months, and is working hard to get ready for the upcoming high school football season.
