Brandon Shoalmire was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) on May 17, 2021. A husband to his lifelong best friend, Chelsey, and father to his favorite little girls, Vivy (5) and Isla (1), he is fighting with his utmost strength to shut this disorder down. The prognosis is good, but the road is long. He is in complete remission, but is waiting to undergo a bone marrow transplant. This will be done at MD Anderson in Houston and he will have to be there for around 100 days.
Brandon is strong, healthy, and young; he is ready to face any of the physical treatments coming his way. Being away from his girls, however, is the greatest challenge he is facing.
