I was diagnosed with AML last March and received a BMT at Mayo-Jacksonville in September 2023. I’m doing really well with a few graph verses host issues, but I’m truly thankful to my anonymous donor.

Welcome to Connect @tkidd51. You are indeed a newbie in the world of BMT! Congratulations on so many levels! You’re about 7 months post transplant so the most challenging part should be behind you now. I also had AML. I’m nearing my 5 year Cell-iversary and that feeling of gratitude for the second chance at life never gets old! 😉 I hope you get to meet your donor some day. Mine, even after 5 years, has chosen to remain anonymous. I’d love to thank him in person because without him, I would not be here. I owe him everything. 💙💚

Having had your transplant at Mayo-Jacksonville, you’ll be a great source of encouragement and guidance for @caregiverx2, whose husband will be receiving his SCT there sometime around August of this year. Do you live near Jacksonville or did you have to relocate for several months?
