PA woman takes on cancer with spirit of optimism
When 19-year-old Kaila Gavel was diagnosed with cancer her first thought was whether she could continue to play volleyball.
Now the goal of playing the sport she loves is keeping her strong as she undergoes treatments.
Gavel was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in July, but she refused to let it stop her from living a normal life.
“I have to take a year off volleyball, but I tried to keep everything else the same. I still moved to Medicine Hat, I’m still with my friends,” said Gavel.
