Words of Wisdom from a 7-Year-Old Cancer Survivor

Author(s):

Micah Bernstein is only 7 years old and has already fought cancer three times. Now, she hopes to be an inspiration to other children.

We’re wrapping up Childhood Cancer Awareness Month by talking to Micah Bernstein, a 7-year-old, three-time survivor of neuroblastoma, and her father, Jeff.

Micah and Jeff discussed their experiences with the disease, as well as Micah’s participation in clinical trials, being a “tester for the drugs,” as she put it. Now that Micah has no evidence of disease (NED), she hopes that she can inspire other children who face a cancer diagnosis, and one day hopes to become a doctor.
