William is
Blood Cancer United

Snapshot of William with his wife standing a park, a cancer survivor

My husband is my rock. He’s been by my side through chemo, immunotherapy, stem cell transplant, years of not feeling well, not eating, losing my hair twice, and at all other times.

He’s held me, made me laugh, given me strength, and carried me through. He’s worked full time and taken care of our kids, our dog, and even my mother, who lives with us. I could not have gotten this far without him.

Love you, William Powers.
