Watch the video to hear the best news a loving sister could ever receive.
Emily Mejia’s 13-year-old sister, Megan, received a diagnosis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia, a childhood cancer. Among their six siblings, Emily and Megan share an exceptionally close bond, intensifying the impact of the news on Emily.
According to Emily Mejia, this experience has been undoubtedly the most challenging ordeal she has faced. Megan’s response to the diagnosis was to face it head-on and move forward, but for Emily and her, it was an emotionally overwhelming moment, as they found themselves in tears, grappling with the weight of the situation.
Throughout Megan’s battle with cancer, her mom, Christine, stood by her side, accompanying her through every single moment of the journey. Together, they displayed incredible strength as they faced numerous challenging rounds of chemotherapy. However, despite their hopes, the effectiveness of the treatment fell short of expectations.
In response, the medical team decided to initiate a new approach by introducing Megan to a form of immunotherapy known as CAR-T. This decision brought renewed hope to the family, who earnestly prayed for a positive outcome.
One fateful day, while Christine was out running errands with her son, Ben, a life-changing phone call came through. The test results revealed the long-awaited and heartwarming news that Megan had successfully defeated cancer, becoming cancer-free. This miraculous news brought immense relief, joy, and gratitude to the entire family.
When Emily received the incredible news that her sister was finally cancer-free, tears of joy and disbelief welled up in her eyes. Her coworkers joined in the celebration, sharing in her happiness.
Emily expressed, “After enduring a series of devastating news, this moment felt like a breath of fresh air. It was almost surreal, and I couldn’t help but wonder if this was really happening.”
With the cancer chapter behind them, Megan is now on the path to recovery. To further safeguard against any potential recurrence, she is undergoing a bone marrow transplant, a crucial step in her journey towards a healthier future.
