7 years ago, I was fighting for the chance at a future. Now, I get to spend that future with the family I once only hoped I’d have. B/c of that gift, I’m here making memories with the people I love most. #BPDCN @doctorpemm @Transplant_Doc

A real dream come true. Cancer survivor and former college baseball player Nick had an all-access experience with MLB at Field of Dreams, hosted by @abbvie. He credits the lessons he learned playing baseball, and his support team, for helping him through his cancer journey. Learn more at https://t.co/hK1TJelUtV.

No better way to celebrate 3 years of survivorship than being able to represent my fellow #bpdcn warriors and raise awareness.
Thank you @ImmunoGenInc for the opportunity to share my cancer journey. Your dedication to the development of a new drug for BPDCN is invaluable. 🙏🙏🙏

Here I’am 2 years after being diagnosed with BPDCN & not only am I surviving but thriving! Nothing is promised in life so all we can do is focus our energy on what’s important, live our best life now, & leave the rest to fate.

Hard to believe that it was only 365 days ago I received the ultimate gift — a second chance at life. Without a stem cell replacement and the amazing work from organizations like @BeTheMatch & @LeukemiaMDA , I wouldn’t be here today. THANK YOU ALL🙏
