Why Joanne is grateful to donors

content image balloons min
I was recently in hospital for 2 months with on going infections from leukaemia. The generosity of donors gave me neutrophils to help fight the infections via granular cyte transfusions. I learnt the donors have to take steroids and GCSF injection go home, come back and donate. I wish I could meet these generous awesome people to hug and thank them for their life saving donation. I'm over the infections. You are angels with massive big hearts. Thank you is insufficient. XXOO
