"Hey it’s been a while. Long story short, I got diagnosed with a rare bone marrow cancer last summer and have had my life upended for the last 8 months. I’m finally stable and am undergoing chemotherapy to prepare for a stem cell transplant next week. I can’t thank my friends and family enough for keeping me alive during this whole ordeal. Definitely a life changing experience, and one that I’m more than happy to talk about, especially if anyone’s interested in being a donor. It could save someone’s life. That’s all from me for now🧑‍🦲"
