  2. Laura's journey

Laura's bone marrow transplant journey

Laura is one of our truly inspiring ardent supporters. From beginning to feel poorly in January 2016, Laura was diagnosed with aplastic anaemia in September following hospitalisation and numerous tests and scans and a biopsy. As part of her treatment Laura received ATG, ciclosporin, then was advised to try eltrompopag. However due to no response, clinicians at King's decided that the best route to recovery will be through a bone marrow transplant.

Laura has agreed to document her journey through vlogs and hopes you will find them informative, helpful and able to inspire hope.
