Teri and B's Blog

We chronicle Teri's harrowing journey that began with a shock & awe diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia on 2/10/10. Her path has traversed multiple rounds of chemotherapy, remission, fruitless worldwide donor search, relapse, near demise from a superbug, resuscitation by an autologous (self) transplant, birth of her first grandchild Jack, and a mismatched haploidentical/umbilical cord transplant on 2/15/11 and myriad complications. This is her story as fought valiantly to the end.

A photomontage of Teri's life and journey

From her open house

Here are the pictures of the pictures on our walls. I emphasized the last 19 months to provide a pictorial sense of the grueling struggle, the lows and the few highs. Teri’s smile comes shining through to the end. She was such a trooper. Enjoy and emote.
