Bone Cancer is a weird growth of tissue in a bone.
Allison was diagnosed at the age of 13 with osteogenic sarcom, which is a type of bone cancer. During that period in her life people she had never even met before supported her. People helped her and her family. She expressed that being removed from school during the 8th grade was difficult, but with the support of her family and friends, she was home-tutored and was able to graduate with her class.
She said that her goal is to educate and help people understand what the bone cancer experience is like. She was involved with the HERO'S Clinic at Yale Cancer Center. The way she explained, it seemed like a wonderful clinic that helps bridge the gap between living as a child with cancer and living as an adult cancer survivor. The HERO'S clinic at Yale gave her the opportunity to not only move on with her care, but with her life.
