I'm a member of Gilda's Club as a Multiple Myeloma cancer survivor. I am 1-year & 1-month post-bone marrow transplant and still in remission. Yay!! I'm about 80% re-vaccinated and have another 10 months before I'll be fully re-vaccinated.
This 2-year cancer journey was made tolerable with the help of Gilda's Club. I didn't know anything about this organization before receiving a cancer diagnosis. But now I actively participate in cancer support groups, social activities, educational workshops, and relaxation/meditation sessions.
During last year's walk I was unable to participate due to a weak immune system after the transplant. This year I feel privileged to participate with my son and help raise funds for a non-profit that has walked with me through the hardest thing I've ever encountered in my life.
