Stories from Grateful Patients: Chenista

In Her Own Words...
“When first diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) 10 years ago, I was in accelerated phase. 94.6% of my bone marrow was affected by the translocated mutated gene in my DNA. CML is a rare blood disease of the leukemia family. I have been through 12 years of chemo, and it still hasn’t gone into remission.”
“Not having achieved remission on a molecular level, I was referred to Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida. I would have to fly from my home in Michigan to Florida every three months. But I couldn’t afford the cost of multiple round-trip flights.”
“Mercy Medical Angels arranged charitable flights on Delta Airlines. Thanks to them, I can fly to Mayo Clinic without the stress related to finances. I would not have been able to receive the care I needed if it weren’t for Mercy Medical Angels and Delta Airlines providing charitable flights.”
“A heartfelt thanks to both Mercy Medical Angels and Delta Airlines, and everyone who gives donations to this worthwhile service!”
