Your support is critical to help us find a cure and I hope you will join us in the fight against blood cancers!!! Camille, Age 9 Leukemia Survivor Camille is in 2 nd grade at Covington Elementary in Covington, LA. In June 2009, Camille was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia M5 after she had flu like symptoms. Camille was treated at Children s hospital and her stays were between days long with extensive chemotherapy treatments. Her treatments lasted for 6 months with multiple platelet and blood transfusions. Her protocol included a bone marrow transplant but since her siblings were not a match she was put on the donor list. Camille responded well to treatment and did not need a transplant! Now she is a 6 year cancer survivor and considered cured of AML! Camille enjoys, reading, drawing, riding bikes and playing with friends.
