My bloodwork is now normal with no signs of cancer, and I’m feeling pretty good with some 'new normals'. LLS was just a phone call or email away. This journey is not easy for any of us, but never forget, we are not alone." (6/7)
My family & friends set our plan in motion with a mobile blood drive & a day of activities to give back to those who gave to me: @impactlifeblood & LLS. Close to 75 pints of blood were donated & over $9,000 to LLS. I was healthy enough to be able to attend @LightTheNight. (5/7)
As a result of someone donating blood, my life was saved. I am forever grateful and I knew I needed to pay it forward. (4/7)
This new journey in my life was really tough! During treatment, complications developed which resulted in hospitalization, a stop in treatment, antibiotics, and numerous blood transfusions. (3/7)
Cancer was not new to me. I am a retired radiation therapist who has worked in oncology for over 45 years. It was my job to help and care for others. I treated both adults and pediatrics, and I am very familiar with LLS. (2/7)
"Somebody saved my life by donating blood, so I want to pay it forward. In January 2021, my new life journey was about to begin. After doctor visits, bloodwork, testing, and finally complete shock, I was diagnosed with large B-cell lymphoma." (1/7)
