Receiving biggest wish while battling toughest fight
Lauren Gregor, 19, Hankinson, is battling one of the hardest fights.
Gregor was diagnosed with Stage II Hodgkin's lymphoma in December 2021. According to Gregor and her family, the two and only really significant initial signs were itching and a lingering cough. Gregor’s Stage II cancer was described as a “bulky” Stage II, meaning there were no cancer cells below her diaphragm. Before her diagnosis, however, Gregor went months undiagnosed and became very sick.
“I was essentially watching my baby die and there was nothing I could do about it and no information being shared,” said Sara Krump, Gregor’s mother.
