leukemia

A young boy visited the cats at the Niagara County SPCA this weekend and made sure they know he has their backs.

Hearing the words your son has cancer is hard enough. Hearing you have it too is unimaginable. That's what happened to one CNY mother.

Family, friends, and co-workers were disappointed to find out that the Marcy Mom, Amy Morrissey, was no longer in remission from her recent Leukemia diagnosis. She is a mother of four and also a grandmother. She is also a hard working bartender from the North Utica Applebee's. Despite this setback she is determined to fight this disease.

Amy Morrissey is a mother of four and grandmother of one. She lives in Marcy and is facing the battle of her life. Marcy may be where she calls home, but right now she is living in a hospital where she will stay for 6 weeks. During that time she will undergo chemotherapy treatments. What she thought was the flu turned out to be Leukemia.
