Rian Harvey - 2X Acute Myeloid Leukemia Survivor, Founder of The L Card & Finding The Things That Make Your Happy

This week’s episode we’re talking to Rian Harvey, who was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) at age 14 in 2013. He first found out something was wrong when he felt that he was becoming less active and social in his teenage years and was having horrible pain in his leg. Rian explains how he finally found out what was going on in his body and his journey to diagnosis, dealing with an intense and risky surgery, his journey through chemo, going through cancer as a teenager, and how he hadn’t really processed his cancer experience until the pandemic 7 years later when life slowed down. Rian also touches on how him starting to process his cancer experience caused him to want to give back to the cancer community in order to help other people feel less alone and remind them that they can get through anything. He also started The L Card, an online community and podcast to connect cancer patients and survivors with one another. Rian is truly amazing, we teared up as he was speaking with us and we can’t wait for you all to listen and be inspired by his story!
