Kellsie Marchbanks was diagnosed with osteosarcoma (a rare bone cancer) at age 15. Her time spent in treatment, along with the care and compassion shown to her by her medical team, inspired Kellsie to become a Pediatric Oncology Nurse. The family like relationship she had with her care team, from her initial diagnosis, through relapses, and up until the time she lost her battle with cancer, created a strong desire for her to care for children going through cancer treatments.
