Tomorrow I celebrate my 67th trip around the sun
As most here know, two years ago I was diagnosed with late-stage Acute Myeloid Leukemia, with less than a 50% chance of surviving. I basically lived at UAMS Little Rock for a year while recovering from the bone marrow transplant.
I now celebrate a two-year diagnosis of 100% cancer free and 100% DNA transplant success. I now have the DNA of a 22 yr old kid from Colorado.
They don't toss around the term "cured" until the five year mark. but it's just a matter of regaining my strength and staying healthy.
I appreciate all the thoughts and prayers.
And as always, Go Dawgs!

That is fantastic! And actually quite rare. My daughter is also a survivor after 2 bone transplants - the first from her sister and the second from an unrelated donor in Rhode Island. It's been over 17 years for her.
I know something of what you've been through and wouldn't wish it on anyone.
So glad to hear that you came out the other side in great shape!
