Nina's Story

At almost 11 months old, Nina was rushed to CHOC following a fever spike and syncope, where she was then diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. Shortly thereafter, Nina underwent many treatments for her diagnosis but is delighted to say she has been in remission for over 10 years. She is in the After Cancer Treatment Survivorship program at CHOC, where she receives resources and support to live life to the fullest, post-cancer.

Nina's family says she is a warrior and a go-getter who never gives up on anything she puts her mind to. Nina enjoys visiting Hawaii, eating sushi, and going shopping, running, and to Angels baseball games with her family. Now age 13, when she grows up Nina aspires to be an author, lawyer, or nurse.
