Mashup Score: 15Liz | Leukemia and Lymphoma Society - 1 day(s) ago
I’ve been affiliated with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) for many years through the volunteer/fundraising opportunities available to my kids. Little did I know I’d be visiting your website for my own needs once my mom was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in January 2023. I’m overwhelmed with the advances made by LLS and find your organization to be a tremendous resource filled with hope. I always click on your stories and decide I want to share mine because I feel like my story and that of my mom’s offers just that, HOPE! When the doctor told my mom she would need a bone marrow transplant to survive, they launched a worldwide donor search, and my sister and I both asked to be swabbed. (Our older sister has an autoimmune disease and therefore wasn’t eligible.) We knew the transplant team was looking for a fully matched HLA bone marrow donor and that we, at best, would be a half-match. But we were desperate to do our part. Not too long after, my mom received a call from

Mashup Score: 7Amy | Leukemia and Lymphoma Society - 19 day(s) ago
In December 2015, our son, William, started complaining of leg/knee pain. William had always been an active boy, so we figured that he must have just hurt himself doing something physical. After a few days of the pain continuing, my husband thought that maybe it was “growing pains.” We continued to keep an eye on it but weren’t too concerned at this point. By the end of the week, I called our pediatrician for an appointment. William had an exam and bloodwork done. He was also given antibiotics. I got a phone call the next day and was told that William had a viral infection and that the muscle pain was secondary to the infection. If he wasn’t improving within two days, I was to call back. William hadn’t improved, so I called the pediatrician back. At this point, I was told that they wanted to run bloodwork on William again that day and also wanted him seen by an orthopedist. We stopped to have blood drawn on our way to the orthopedic office later that day. William had been in decent spi
