Oh yeah that blew my mind. I would leave my donor’s DNA behind if I committed a crime too.

I had my transplant six weeks ago for lymphoma after relapsing at the two year mark. Your words resonate so wholly. Congratulations on five years

This moved me in a way I wasn’t prepared for. It is so honest, tender, and powerful. The way you carried your pain, how you write about your body and your *self* being undone and remade, is nothing short of extraordinary. There’s such a fierce, quiet love in how you remember who you were and who you’ve become. I felt your grief, your anger, your exhaustion, and also your courage, your clarity, your care. Told with such beauty. I’m in awe and so grateful you shared this.
