Katie survives childhood cancer - Acute myelocytic leukemia

At age 14 Katie was diagnosed with acute myelocytic leukemia (AML). AML is a form of leukemia that is not very common in children and has only 40 percent survival odds. Katie began seeing Dr. Broxson and underwent five rounds of chemotherapy. She faced a number of other complications throughout her treatments which required her to stay in the pediatric intensive care unit at Dayton Children's. Today Katie is in remission from her cancer and is a happy and energetic teenager.
