You as well stay strong you will get through this stay postive and focus God has you

Hello! I was diagnosed with aplastic anemia at the age of 5, with no known cause. I’m now 39. I was in the hospital for an entire year and received total body radiation, chemotherapy and 3 bone marrow transplants. My first two transplants didn’t take but luckily the third one which was given by my sister, did. After treatment, I have never had anymore issues with aplastic anemia, however there are long term effects that I am dealing with due to the total body radiation. My blood labs also tend to run a little lower than normal because of my history. I want to say that you are a strong soul as well! I would love to hear your story 😊
