Hi Nicole,

I read Evan's story. I'm so glad he made a full recovery. His experience was so much better than my husband's first time round. He was the same age as Evan and it was really frightening because nobody really knew much about AA then. An unmatched BMT was considered too dangerous and steroids were the only option available. Fortunately, so much more can be done now and the outlook is so much better. Meeting Evan's donor must have been an incredible experience.

All the best for the future

Sara J
