Eye cancer survivor Mekyla Belgrave

Now 16 years cancer free, visually impaired Mekyla Belgrave says that every day she feels like she is leading a very different life from that of her friends.

According to Mekyla who turned 17 recently and who is visually impaired after undergoing cancer surgery as an infant, her life is different from that of her peers because she underwent cancer surgery as an infant and she finds it uncomfortable having to explain her blindness sometimes.
