Description

Adam and Trish Dalton join The Lighthouse Podcast to share their daughter Autumn's story of being diagnosed with a rare form of pediatric leukemia, starting with her symptoms and quick diagnosis. They share the challenge that came with receiving the news of the genetic makeup of her cancer and how that made the treatment even harder. They explain the option they had to enroll her in a clinical trial, and how they almost turned the opportunity down until God sent a friend of a friend their way who told them just what they needed to know. They talk about the isolation that came with a cancer diagnosis during Covid, and how it especially robbed Autumn of the chance to get out and about during the maintenance phase of her treatment as they had been looking forward to. They share the great news that Autumn wrapped up her treatment in the fall, but also open up about the challenges of the post-treatment phase. They close by talking about how their faith has sustained them through it all.
