Childhood Cancer Awareness Month
In the U.S., 15,780 children under the age of 21 are diagnosed with cancer every year; about 1/4 of them will not survive the disease. September is National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. For the month of September it is Humble ISD's goal to have a SEA of GOLD around town all month long. At ESE this month, we will be talking about Childhood Cancer and ways that we can show support to those who are going through this dreadful disease. CLAW Student Council will be collecting new stuffed animals, we will have discussions in class and we will meet survivors.
Together we are stronger.
Mrs. Dunn was diagnosed with Lymphoma when she was 16 years old. It started with a bad cough that eventually grew to a swollen lymph node in her neck. At that point, it was getting hard for her to breath, so when they went to the doctor and found out it was cancer, she had to start chemotherapy treatments right away.
After the diagnosis, she received treatments at Children’s Hospital in Dallas for the next two years. During that time, there were countless spinal taps, transfusions, and pills. At one point, Mrs. Dunn’s legs became paralyzed because of the medicine and she had to be transported by helicopter to the hospital. After the first hard year of chemotherapy, things got a lot better. Her physical strength became stronger and her hair began growing back. Which made her very happy! Although it was a trying two years, Mrs. Dunn had amazing family, friends, and community supporting her the whole time. In honor of Mrs. Dunn’s cancer journey, her 10th grade class created a Relay for Life team to help raise money for the fight against cancer.
Being a child with cancer, Mrs. Dunn was nominated to the Make-A-Wish foundation, to be able to fulfill one of her biggest wishes. Her and her family were able to take a week long trip to Hawaii and swim with her favorite animal, dolphins! This was a trip of a lifetime and she will never forget it.
In May of 2008, Mrs. Dunn had her last chemotherapy treatment. Which was celebrated at her church with all of her family and friends with a large cake that said “No Mo Chemo!”
11 years later..Mrs. Dunn recently married over the summer to her husband who she met in college at SFA. Mrs. Dunn has been a 4th grade teacher for 5 years, and at ESE for 3! Every May, Mrs. Dunn reminds herself how lucky she is to be alive and that tough times make a person stronger!
