Patient Stories

When children are diagnosed with diseases, such as cancer or blood disorders, their dreams for the future are put on hold. Needles, medicine and side effects become a major part of their world. It can be a scary time, which is why we at the Aflac Cancer Center and Blood Disorders Service of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta share these stories of hope—patients who have beaten their diseases, and who are now living happy, healthy lives.

Do you have a story to share? Let us know.
