Someone in my corner: Leaning on friends through sickness
Their friendship means the world to me.
Olivia Banks
I am a dog mom, avid traveller and Swiftie. I was diagnosed with indolent systemic mastocytosis in my early twenties after being symptomatic for over eight years. My diagnosis has pushed me to seize every opportunity that comes my way, especially when it’s travel related. I’ve been passionate about patient advocacy since day one, and can only hope it somehow helps pave the way for other patients, especially young adults, to have an easier and more accessible experience.
