Can you imagine living every day with shards of glass slicing through your veins?
That’s the agonizing reality for my courageous guest Cameron, who shares her deeply personal story of fighting sickle cell anemia since birth.
Even the slightest weather change or emotional stress can trigger grueling, week-long hospitalizations filled with piercing pains, blood transfusions, and breathing treatments just to survive another day. Despite the cruelty of this unpredictable illness, Cameron resiliently builds a life for herself and her family.
Cameron pulls back the curtain on the daily sacrifices required to manage sickle cell, from strict dietary changes to navigating relationships and work around her hospitalizations. You’ll be moved by her strength, uplifted by her hope, and gain new empathy for the silent struggles of those living with invisible disabilities.
