On July 22, I will celebrate my 3rd “Rebirthday” after having an allogeneic bone marrow transplant! I am so thankful to the 20-something anonymous woman who generously donated her bone marrow, a perfect match! I am also so thankful for the wonderful BMT team at Mayo-Rochester for giving me the best care possible! I’m back to living my normal life and enjoying activities with family and friends, ❤️

I love your last sentence, about living your normal life. I was advised early on to not let the transplant define who I am - yes, it is important but we go through the hardships involved with a transplant exactly for that purpose - to go back to being who we are and live our lives normally. Good for you!
