Hello Everyone!

✨ Important Announcement ✨

Due to ongoing security and access issues with some of my previous social media accounts, I've created new pages that will serve as my primary online home moving forward. I'm super sad to leave the communities I've built here on FB Dr. Erica Harris and Risingmindsonline, but after exhausting hours unsuccessfully trying to solve these issues in the Meta chat box, I've decided that the best way forward is to create new pages. This will allow me to continue sharing resources, updates and support in a secure and reliable way.

I'd LOVE to stay connected- Please follow along and join me on my 2 new pages:

It's a great day to be alive! ❤️

Find ways to maximize each and every day that you too are gifted! I'm perched here at the beach on this sunny and warm April day... with the wind in my hair and the sun on my face, I am feeling incredibly grateful 🙏 to "get" to breathe in life through borrowed lungs 🫁 while having the blood and marrow of another flowing through all parts me, fuelling every pursuit. Who could be this lucky???!

With love,

Thanks to the kindness of amazing donors, this body has been powered hundreds of blood transfusions since first being diagnosed with AML, at 35 years young, in 2012. 🙏

As well as I am now, still today I need to borrow immunoglobulins from others as I no longer produce these since my bone marrow/stem cell transplant. These fighters help me fight colds and bugs, protect my new 🫁 lungs and allow me to stay strong 💪 ! I am forever grateful to my heroes - my AMAZING donors.

This clinic is full of patients just like me - people who never expected that their survival would rely on the kindness and generosity of strangers.

Let's keep Canada's lifeline strong! Have you considered taking the time to donate blood recently? You may also consider registering your decision to be an organ or stem cell donor. Visit or to learn more!

These generous donations have empowered my survival for 13.5 bonus years! Because of you, I "get" to be mom to the world's two greatest little humans!

With immense heartfelt thanks,
❤️❤️ xx Survivor Girl

Spring break in whistler ⛷️with this cutie = the BEST! ❤️

Even in lieu of skiing in the pouring rain, many run being closed and my lovely borrowed lungs 🫁 struggling on the hill this time, I absolutely quality time with my boys. ❤️❤️

Soak up every minute of every day you are gifted on this earth with those who you love most!

Back at today for 2 — and feeling deeply grateful for the kindness of who make it possible for me to still “get” to be mom to my two incredible boys. ❤️

Every extra day I live is because of strangers who chose to give — through blood, organs 🫁, and / superheroes. 🙏🦸‍♂️

13.5 years ago I was given a terminalprognosis and told there were no more treatment options. But hope had other plans.

A perfect donor was found, and somehow I reached remission and received a bonemarrowtransplant that changed my blood type from O- to A+.

Life, science and God are truly miraculous. 🙏

After later facing graftvshost and bronchiolitisobliterans, I was given a second miracle — a doublelungtransplant. 🙏

Now I breathe with lungs from my donor, Joy, and carry marrow from my donor, Fabian Hoppe , who rose to help from half way around the world, in Germany — literally living with Joy and Hope inside me every day. 💫

Because of them, I’m the luckiest mom in the world.
With heartfeltgratitude for this incredible giftoftoday.
Please help keep Canada’s lifeline strong: donate blood and register as an organ and stem cell donor. 🙏

With love, ❤️ Survivor Girl 4969 BONUS DAYS

With all of the ongoing political issues in the world, I give heartfelt thanks for our Canadian 🇨🇦medical system. 🙏❤️

My morning kicked off bright and early at VGH. I expected it to be empty with the holiday season, but it was yet another busy day at the inn.

Despite the staff having to work throughout the holidays, every single staff greeted me with the biggest of smiles, so much TLC and heartfelt words of encouragement.

This note is just a small expression of my sincere thanks to our amazing healthcare heroes who keep Canada's lifeline strong- throughout the holidays, and always!

Grateful, thankful and blessed to be alive!

Skin cancer 101 : here are the pics: •Before, •right before (thinking this would be a small scar!) and •after! 🤨This one was a mildly invasive squamous cell carcinoma.

I'm often asked what my skin cancers look like before resection. Sooo, I thought I'd share!

Like this one (third pic posted), they often appear rather nonchalant like- like nothing more than an area of dry skin or a rash. They often feel like sand paper.

I'm definitely at higher risk of 2ndary cancers after having whole body radiation and "salvage" chemo for AML years ago, but also because of my ongoing high dose immuno suppression regime to manage my stem cell 🩸 (bone marrow) and double lung 🫁 transplants.

I've also learned more recently that I carry a genetic mutation in the gene TP 53- which leads to higher rates of cancer, particularly affecting children and younger adults. I apparently have the "mosaic" version of LFS, or Li-Fraumeni Syndrome.

Regardless. I hope this post empowers you to catch any newly developing skin cancers you may have on a proactive, early basis. Imagine the scar if I had left this any longer! It's also been a rough week as my blood counts randomly dropped this week. It was the first time this happened since my AML diagnosis. But my hearty little marrow seems to be bouncing back!🙏🙏🙌🙏

Often times, my boys are the first ones who catch these skin cancers for me! One very lucky mom! 🙏

I also have a phenomenal team here at VGH that keeps me strong- here's to my amazing Moh's plastic surgeon, Dr. Bryce Cowan! 🙌🙌

In gratitude,

Xx ❤️❤️ Survivor Girl
