Description
A few years ago, 8-year-old Autumn noticed a lump on the side of her neck as she was preparing for bed one night. That quiet night opened a new chapter not only in Autumn’s life but in the life of her entire family: Autumn had leukemia. In this interview, Autumn shares the story of her treatment and recovery as a girl who had not yet turned 11. Her experience was also captured in a documentary. When asked to share her advice to healthcare professionals and researchers as a pediatric oncology patient, Autumn explained: “Every patient is a different case, has a different body, and knows about their body. No matter how amazing you are at the job, keep in mind what children have to say instead of what you already know.”
