I’m a two-time acute myeloid leukemia (AML) survivor. I was diagnosed in 2018 and completed the 7/3 induction and consolidation then relapsed in 2020 and had a full myeloablative bone marrow transplant on May 4th, 2021, at Penn Med in Philadelphia.

 

I completed a solo, cross-country road trip the last week of December 2021, (seven months post-transplant) to Colorado and Rocky Mountain National Park.

 

I just returned from exploring and photographing Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming and Capitol Reef National Park in Utah (February 2022).
