Thank you for sharing your story! I’m glad to hear that you are doing so well! Returning back to normal is such an amazing experience that often fills us with gratitude.

I was diagnosed with AML seven and a half years ago. Next Friday will be the 7th anniversary of my transplant. This weekend I am spending with my donor and his parents. He is a young man from Germany. This will be the third time that he came to visit me in the US.

Just like you, I feel so grateful for all the advances in the treatments of blood cancers, and for being diagnosed now and not 30 years ago. I definitely wouldn’t have survived then.

Hope your recovering continues to progress well!

Happy 7th Rebirthday!! I hope you had a wonderful reunion with your donor and his family. That has to be so gratifying and emotional for all of you to meet in person…and more than once! It’s really amazing that he and his family come from Germany to visit so frequently. I’m happy you have such a lovely ongoing connection…besides the obvious one. 😊
