Hello! My name is Mikey Dianetti. I am 10 years old, in 5th grade, and cured of Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia, more commonly known as ALL. I was diagnosed on August 4, 2004, right before my 4th birthday and cured October 17, 2007.
Having cancer was the worst thing that could happen to a 4 year old boy and his family. Then my three brothers were Joe age 15, James age 13, and Philip age 12. They are currently ages 21, 20, and 18.
Cancer was a living hell. I couldn't go to the store, watch my brothers play baseball, play sports myself, or even go to mass. I was always so tired, sick, and weak. Vincristine, a medicine that I took as part of my treatment, permanently damaged my eyesight.
