Naydelin, or as many of us know her Nay, she was diagnosed back in April 2022 with Leukemia A.L.L. Nay has been fighting and keeping a smile this entire time. Unfortunately Nay has relapsed after a short period of getting a taste of normality. Nay relapsed back in late July but now her cancer has developed more aggressively and has taken over 90% of her bone marrow. The chemotherapy is not responding, that has caused her cancer to expand to her brain.
