We Talk Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

from Iconically Ill · host Iconically Ill

We talk Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia with Natalia Surin. In the spring of 2018, at the age of 21, Natalia was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) during her senior year at UMass Amherst studying hospitality & business management. Born and raised in Boston with only a couple months left until graduation, her life was turned upside down sending her down a grueling treatment plan. For the next 2+ years, cancer monopolized her life. Now at 28 years old, she's still somehow chronically a patient—but never a victim. With humor as her sidekick, Natalia cracks jokes about IV poles, getting probed, and everything in between, proving that even when life isn't funny, you can still laugh your way through it. Update: Natalia relapsed after this recording. She's currently in the middle of CAR T-Cell Therapy and is aiming to be back in remission by November 2025. Until then, consider this podcast her laugh track through treatment. Show transcript bit.ly/3UKUymI
