AYA cancer patient Mia is here to talk about all things osteosarcoma & childhood cancer as a young adult.
Spilling the Tea, Definition: Sharing the Truth, the gossip, and the information.
Hi everyone! I’m Mia, I’m 25, and live in LA with my mom and our three cats and two dogs. I was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in September 2018. I have a 15 inch internal prosthetic named Rodney (get it?) from my limb salvage in my right leg. I’m returning to UC Santa Barbara in the fall as a psych and brain sciences major! My ultimate career goal is to be a clinical psychologist working with adolescent and young adult cancer patients, but I’ve got a long way to go! Finding such a wonderful group of other osteowarriors has been a true gift and I can’t wait to share our crazy stories with all of you!
