About Rarebug

My name is Rebekah and I am 20 years old. I was 19 when I was diagnosed. I'm currently in remission after having been diagnosed in july 2011 with biphenotypic lukeamia which is a very rare form of lukeamia, my doctors hadn't seen it in 9 years which was scary enough. (in easy terms it means i had AML and ALL) I had 3 chemotherapys because my first chemo didn't work. I have had a bone marrow transplant in november 2011 where my younger brother was my doner. During my treatment I also had a blood clot in the brain which caused a seizure and then had an amaphaleptic shock both of which ended up in intensive care. I also had multiple rare bugs. It was a scary journey but im here now and would like to answer any questions anyone has, if it means helping you though this scary time
