Bio (include your age, tumor type and date of diagnosis)My name is Lezdy Rodriguez and I am 21 year's old. I was first diagnosed in 2017 with an astrocytoma glioma located in my thalamus. I had a seizure on my first day of Sophomore year in high school. After about five and a half years I'm still here fighting the good fight. I even run a small foundation where I make childhood cancer patients goodie bags almost every holiday. @snak.pak.foundation
Painting: I call this painting Jellyent, combining the words Jellyfish and Succulent which were the inspirations for this piece.
