Hi, my name is Shanna Roenicke, I’m in the fight for my life and looking for a miracle!  I have been battling a very rare form of cancer called Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC) over the past two years.   It only affects 1-4% of people worldwide.  Devastatingly enough, prior to this diagnosis, at age 14, I was also diagnosed with a very rare cancer called Acute Myeloid Leukemia, having only a 17% chance of survival. By the grace of God I survived, after almost a year of being hospitalized. I dedicated my life to helping children, teens, and young adults as a Child Life Specialist at a local Children’s Hospital by normalizing the hospital environment, and reducing stress, anxiety, and medical trauma. I have cared for several patients in Oncology, ICU, Emergency, Surgical and Medical units as well as an Autism and Neurodevelopmental Center. My firsthand experience with cancer has given me a special lens to care for others going through a similar journey.
