GIST Sarcoma (gastrointestional stromal tumor) & Thyroid Cancer

I was diagnosed with two cancers four months apart after 5 years of severe anemia, fatigue and many hospital stays for gastrointestinal hemorrhages.

Perfect 10

Because the results of my chromosomal test revealed I was likely to respond well to treatment, but my AML would most likely to recur, a stem cell transplant was recommended.
