Here's a photo of Shauna in the "before" times.
She moved from Alaska in order to see a specialist in North Carolina.
Years later, she spoke at the recent Chapel Hill AAMDSIF Patient and Family Conference, a long-term survivor of MDS.
During Blood Cancer Awareness Week, listen to Shauna tell her own story here: https://www.aamds.org/share/webinar/801
(PS: Don't be surprised when she tells you how she won the pageant!)
