Blood Cancer United

Hello, my name is Mary Kay Hettick. I've always thought I was in good health until, in October 2013 when I was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). My life was never the same after that.  I endured many days in the hospital doing chemotherapy and having a bone marrow transplant.

Today, I've been in remission for almost five years! If your fighting AML, know that your in good hands.
