Rosa Maria was diagnosed with ewings sarcoma in June 2014. Her symptoms began as pain in her chest and she knew something was not right. After doctors told her to just keep an eye on it and dismissed concerns Rosa Maria continued searching for answers. Finally, testing was conducted and it was determined that she had ewings sarcoma, a bone cancer. Rosa Maria had to put her college studies on hold and begin treatment. She is currently doing very well and she is surrounded by a loving family and amazing sisters to help her through this fight.
After meeting Rosa Maria, I am very proud of her. She is a bright, beautiful, and very strong young woman and I am sending many well wishes her way!
