Natalie was diagnosed with Medulloblastoma in 2020. After surgery to remove the tumor she had 6 weeks of radiation and 9 months of chemotherapy. During this time she managed to complete her Junior year of high school even though she was in and out of the hospital. Her Senior year was done online because her platelets were slow to bounce back and she was always exhausted. Being the tenacious young woman she is, she graduated with honors. Today Natalie is looking forward to starting her 3rd year of nursing school at Penn State Mount Alto. Scan time still causes her alot of anxiety but life is slowly becoming more "normal" for her.
"As much as I wanted to distance ourselves from the diagnosis and pretend it didn’t happen after she finished treatment, I realized I just couldn’t do that. Medulloblastoma will be a part of our lives forever. We need to do our part to keep it from affecting other families."- Tammy Hill
