Alexa was infected with the coronavirus in August and stayed positive for five weeks.
Ms Voyatjes, who posts on social media regularly to raise awareness about childhood leukaemia, said the early days of her daughter's treatment were hard.
The first few months of the cancer treatment were hard as Alexa did not want to be touched, said her mother.
The family sought the help of a psychologist with experience in treating children with cancer. The doctor helped Alexa overcome her anxiety.
Next week, Alexa will start the final cycle of her treatment, which is expected to end in February.
