At Moffitt Cancer Center, Tamara’s acute myeloid leukemia (AML) story inspires us. Every single day. See some of the people tackling cancer who drive us to be the best at moffitt.org/courage
Tamara was on her way home from a family vacation when she started to feel sick with typical acute myeloid leukemia symptoms. Before long, she was indeed diagnosed with a rare form of acute leukemia.
“I Have Cancer” are always difficult words to say. But choosing where to seek acute myeloid leukemia treatment was easy.
“I was familiar with Moffitt's reputation in oncology. And I felt like acute myeloid leukemia or AML was part of what they specialized in,” Tamara recalls. “This is what they do and they do it well, and I knew that they would be able to care for me.”
Her confidence in the abilities of Moffitt’s oncology specialists is what kept her hopeful as treatment began. Even though her cancer case was more complex than many others, she always found the strength to maintain a positive attitude.
“People might think I was courageous because I didn’t curl up in the fetal position. I wanted to fight. I wanted to get better.” But it helped knowing she didn’t have to fight alone. “I wanted to get better, but without the confidence in Moffitt, I wouldn’t have been able to feel that way.”
Tamara’s fortitude paid off, because after almost two consecutive years of treatment, she’s back to her normal routine. “I'm an active mom and I'm teaching every day and just living life almost as I did before.”
