5 years ago today I was given a 2nd chance at life. I was diagnosed with diffuse scleroderma and was given 2-5 years to live. After having chemo to eradicate my immune system, I was given my own stem cells back. This saved my life by resetting my immune system.
Today I celebrate!

This was the harvesting process of my stem cells so I wouldn't have any transplant rejection issues.
I had to inject myself with neupogen to produce the stem cells that I needed.
