That’s a great way to have your AML journey make a difference in the lives of others. After my diagnosis I was trying to make sense of why I had leukemia and what God wanted me to do with my experience. I didn’t want to waste it.

While working full-time and family commitments keep me very busy, I always look for individual opportunities to help other cancer patients.

@alive I think it can be our mission to be an example for others to look to, no matter our situation! I have active multiple myeloma, plus endstage kidney disease. I was going to try for a kidney transplant earlier this year. In conference with both oncologist and nephrologist, the transplant center said I needed a SCT before evaluation for kidney transplant. Long story short, my chances of surviving a SCT are not good. So, I am on dialysis rest of my life, and reaching out to others who have a similar situation, to tell my story. So much is about attitude, and how we can do the best for ourselves and the rest of our medical team [we're a part of that, you know!]
