How Blood Saves Lives

white arrowJoe's Story
Joe "blood and platelet donors were a vital link in my treatment chain"

In September of 2008, Joe was diagnosed with Myeloma. Blood products played a vital part in his treatment during 2009, without them he would not be alive today. Joe is now doing extremely well after a stem cell transplant.

Joe says, “The fact is, that for me, blood and platelet donors were a vital link in my treatment chain, which has stretched from my initial shocking diagnosis to the place I’m at today – alive, recovering, and profoundly grateful to those who care enough to donate.” Return to case studies >>
