I did see the report with Robin Roberts! She was the first person I ‘knew’ (familiar face from seeing her on TV) who had a stem cell transplant. I thought she was incredibly brave and couldn’t imagine having to face such a challenge.
It was really the first time I can remember that this procedure was brought into the public spotlight! It was wonderful for her to share her story all along!

Who knew…several years later I did have to face the same fate but from a different disease!
But her story was so inspiring and encouraging, I knew I could get through it…and now you and your husband are inspired by her story too! She did the right thing in sharing her experience and we are too! We never know who will benefit or be given a positive nudge when they read our accounts. ☺️
