Aw, that was sweet of you to remember, Ryan. Thank you! Hah, it’s not often we get two birthdays every year! So I used it as an excuse to do a little retail therapy and to indulge in ‘sometime’ foods that I don’t eat often, as a treat. It’s always humbling to know without the transplant, I’d be long gone by now…at least 5 years! So these are bonus rounds! ☺️

Congratulations Lori. Terrific milestone to mark💕
Fortunately for those of us who elect not to do a BMT or are not a candidate the researchers are developing MENIN drugs to help with the AML battle and the associated mutations like FLT3 and NPM1. So if we relapse there is something to try to get us to 5+ years post diagnosis🤞🏼
