This is Play It Forward. Real people. Real stories. The struggle to Play It Forward Episode 409 Shauna Rae from TLC’s I Am Shauna Rae.
Shauna Rae may look like a child, but she desperately wants to be treated like an adult. I AM SHAUNA RAE follows Shauna as she navigates the extraordinary challenge of trying to live a normal adult life despite her appearance.
Diagnosed with a rare form of brain cancer at six months old, Shauna’s treatment allowed for remission, but resulted in a side effect no one predicted – she stopped growing. The chemotherapy made her pituitary gland almost dormant, leaving Shauna with a childlike appearance and standing at only 3 feet and 10 inches tall-- the average size of an 8-year-old. Except, Shauna is 22.
