It’s really scary and weird with a tingling sensation that doesn’t go away. Every time I tried to move, it was like my whole body was electrocuted. It felt like my feet were glued to the floor and I couldn’t even move my toes.”

Fortunately, the cancer did not spread and Hackett began treatment in October 2021. After chemotherapy, Hackett slowly regained mobility and began to walk again.
