I was infused with my daughter’s umbilical cord blood and we just waited every day for the blood to multiply or for my bone marrow to rebuild. The transplant was a cure and I’m now in remission because my bone marrow was replaced with my daughter’s stem cells, which produced a whole new bone marrow. She saved my life!
