Ella was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia in August 2019. Since then she underwent 4 rounds of chemotherapy and immunotherapy, during which Ella went into remission and relapsed.

Ella was due to have a bone marrow transplant which has since been cancelled due to the relapse and is now awaiting Car-T therapy. Since the beginning of Ella’s treatment she kept a blog, discussing topics surrounding a cancer diagnosis and her thoughts and feelings about everything along the way.

Ella is currently selling her art work, with 25% of sales going to Blood Cancer UK elladawsonartist.co.uk
