Description

Marge was initially surprised when diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. However, her continued healthy wellbeing allowed Marge to put the news behind her and carry on with her everyday life. But then, five years later, her illness suddenly took a turn for the worse. A much sooner than expected stem cell transplant was scheduled in the fall, taking her more than 200 miles away from home. Fortunately, her post-transplant recovery went amazingly well and she was home before Christmas! I guess she was one of those few fortunate patients that sailed through it! Or was she? Three months later, the dreaded Graft Versus Host Disease, (GVHD), attacked her body with a vengeance! Air ambulance flew her back to Vancouver for a roller coaster of continuous life-threatening hardships. Was all the medication that was wreaking havoc on her body worth keeping her alive? Would she ever get out of the hospital and return home to a life worth living? Find out and be inspired, as Marge tells her heartwarming story; sharing her battles openly and honestly as she fights to overcome GVHD.
