Imagine, now how that would feel at eight years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But for Anuschka Panghoud (9), now one month in the clear from Burkitt Lymphoma, she is optimistic about her future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The nine-year-old girl is part of the Advanced Edukos Foundation\u2019s after-school programme and participated in its first Thursday art exhibition at Rocklands Library on Thursday 7 September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her grandmother, Yasmina Hendricks says she had mixed emotions walking through the exhibition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI felt happy.

Her official diagnosis came in January last year when treatment began. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Burkitt Lymphoma is a fast-growing type of high-grade non-Hodgkin lymphoma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is why Anuschka calls the sister \u2018my lifesaver\u2019,\u201d says Hendricks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt was a very difficult process. Anuschka was very ill and wanted to give up, but we had to encourage her. All her uncles and cousins also shaved their hair in support of cancer awareness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anuschka had a recent MRI scan which revealed no more cancer cells. School is still challenging in the wake of her recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a recent incident, Anuschka was mocked when a child pulled off her cap, revealing her bald head. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEveryone laughed at her and when she came home, she was in tears,\u201d says Hendricks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The school was quick to deal with and resolve the matter. This gave Anuschka the confidence to go to school without her cap. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEveryone looked at me and said how beautiful I am,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Grade 4 learner has big dreams for her future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI have a dream of being a doctor or a veterinarian,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The painting took her about a week to complete. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI felt better after finishing the painting. The painting is the story of how I survived cancer for six months. It helped me to express my emotions better. If I can survive, you can survive too,\u201d she says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou have a bright future ahead of yourself so don\u2019t give up, just keep trying.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Receiving a cancer diagnosis can bring grown men to tears.
