#Saqora strong: Skenandore continues her fight
against leukemia
  More than twenty-four hospital
admissions. Eighty-six days hospi-
talized. Nine spinal taps. Two bone
marrow biopsies. Forty-two rounds
of chemotherapy. As of October 25,
2020, Oneida Nation citizen and
eighth-grader Saqora Skenandore
will have been battling leukemia for
a total of 303 days. “She’s nearly
done with the frontline chemother-
apies,” Saqora’s mother, Marsha
Skenandore, said. “Thankfully she’s
been in remission and they haven’t
found any leukemia cells in her
blood at all, but it’s been a tough
year.”
  Saqora was diagnosed with the
deadly disease on December 27,
2019, and she almost immediately
