I know what you mean about going through this journey alone. When I had my AML/BMT I had no one to talk to about this…no mentors. So my husband and I pretty much flew by the seat of our pants through the entire odyssey.
I had great medical teams back home and at Mayo who were very supportive and informational. But my greatest boost of confidence came at about 1.5 months after my transplant when I met 2 people who gave me hope for the future. I learned the value of having a mentor.

So that’s why I’m here, along with the rest of our BMT posse to offer hope and encouragement to anyone having a transplant or facing a blood cancer. It can be so helpful to someone who has walked the walk.

So don’t hesitate to ask us anything. We’ll give you straight answers! ☺️. Wishing you a Happy New Year!
