Hi my name is Lezdy Rodriguez, I have an diffused astrocytoma glioma. The day I was diagnosed was August 27, 2017. Twenty days after I had a seizure on my first day of my sophomore year. I was taken to Kaiser Permanente and was transferred to Loma Linda Children’s Hospital where I was put into a medically induced coma for ten days.
