Bone Marrow Transplant Donors - People

I am 34 years old, a new blogger, married Mom of three beautiful children, and new proud SURVIVOR of Acute Myleoid Leukemia. I am learning my way around this big world, and figuring out where I fit in and just who I want to be. My AML has relapsed and I am once again fighting this disease - this time my journey will include a bone marrow transplant. This blog is from my perspective and it is...

Chris and I were married in September 2010. In October 2010, Chris started a bone marrow stem cell transplant to try and end his multiple sclerosis.  

I've worked in health care most of my life. I have a masters degree in nursing working most recently in a primary care clinic. My husband was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a cancer of the bone marrow, in 1999.

I am an eternally gratefull heart transplant recipient . Because of this experience I have dedicated the rest of my life to increasing the supply of transplantable organs.

This is causing my kidneys to fail and I am currently in the process of looking for a live donor to give me the gift of life through transplant.

A freelance writer and filmmaker, I started the SmileThroughIt blog to track my progress (good or bad) on the transplant list as I battled end-stage Cystic Fibrosis, the UK's most common life-threatening genetic disease. Luckily for me, I receive the Gift of Life - a life-saving double-lung transplant - in November 2007 and the blog now serves to track the immense changes in my life as I...

I am very lucky to be alive after a double-lung transplant in July 2006. I suffered the rarest lung disease called - Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (Lam). My illness never got me down..even though there were very hard times. I just kept fighting for my life n trying to breathe each time my lung collapsed (total 15 times). I used to be on 24 hr oxygen to help me breathe and also wheelchair bound. At...

I was on 6 liters of oxygen and had only 11%...
