Peyman:Lymphoma Patient
Hi, I am Setareh, 28 yrs old, a dentist in my 2nd yr of Maxillofacial residency. I have been diagnosed with an aggressive form of Acute Leukemia (AML) and I'm being treated at MD Anderson cancer center.
I am not identified by my cancer.
I am not just another patient.
I am a soldier.
I am a survivor.
I am a human.
I am not just another patient.
I am a soldier.
I am a survivor.
I am a human.
"My name is Parsis and I’m 2 ½ years old. I love my maman and baba very much, because they kiss me all the time and say I’m their Persian Princess. I hate it when I go to get blood…my mommy says it is good for me; but it hurts"
Hi. My name is Sam Mirchi. My only chance of surviving this killer disease is the stem cells from the matching blood donor. That one special person could be you. You could save my life, help me be there for my family. Please be my hero for life.
" I am writing to you from the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at Jackson Memorial Hospital, in Miami, Florida. Unfortunately after only four months living in America, in November 2007, I was diagnosed with a rare blood disorder, which has gradually led to bone marrow failure.
"I have Leukemia (AML) and looking for a bone marrow donor. I have a 12 years old daughter whom I love very much.
"I am 36 years old. In 2008, I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Three months after an 8 months round of chemo and radiation, the disease came back and spread through my bones."
Parsis' Story
"My name is Parsis and I’m 2 ½ years old. I love my maman and baba very much, because they kiss me all the time and say I’m their Persian Princess. I hate it when I go to get blood…my mommy says it is good for me; but it hurts"
The nurse always puts a pretty pink band-aid on me. Daddy says the nice doctors will do magic and make me good and healthy and I will grow up to be a strong girl; I like hearing this...
All the nurses and the doctors are nice to me, sometimes they give me a balloon.”
Parsis, our Persian Princess, has to go to the hospital every 28 days to take blood transfusion…She has to spend almost a full day and have many tests done on her. However, there is one way to save her and that is through Bone Marrow Transplant.
