Fighting the Fight in LA

KTTV (LA) Entrainment Reporter Amanda Salas has been diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma and recently completed her first round of chemotherapy.

To say she is taking on this fight with a can do attitude would be an understatement.

Salas had a “buzz” party and shaved her head and has been sharing her battle on social media. She is showing just how strong she is and we at FTVLive wish her nothing but the best in this fight.

SUSPECT IT. DETECT IT. CORRECT IT. 🏥 :deep breath: Hi, my name is Amanda, and I was just diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. I recently completed my first round of chemotherapy. To say the last couple of weeks have been a whirlwind would be an understatement. I have been trying to wrap my head and heart around all of this. I know so many of you have/had questions. Most were genuinely caring, some were concerned, and others curious...fair enough. I needed some time to process all of this with myself, my family, and those closest to me (understandably so, right?). While I was in the hospital laying in bed, one form of inspiration for me was going on social media, and searching hashtags from others experiencing the same ‘thing’ I was. They were brave. They were beautiful. They believed. I hope to one day be that small dose of comfort for somebody else...the same way they gave me hope. Now, the FIGHT begins. The same work ethic I’ve always had for my career....is the same kind of moxie and spirit I will carry with me through this journey. I never truly knew how strong I was until RIGHT NOW. I’m happily accepting all positive vibes and prayers, as I build my army to help me through this battle. ❤️🙏🏽#NonHodgkinsLymphoma #LatinaOnTheMedicina #CancerSucks
