After 67 years of perfect health Tina was diagnosed in November 2020 with AML(acute myeloid leukemia) a very serious form of leukemia, one that can arise from undiagnosed myleodysplastic syndrome. You may be familiar with that term from Robin Robert’s documented journey back in 2013. Tina’s diagnosis came in her 34th year of sobriety and less than 6 months after her fiancé’s suicide. She is now 200+ days out from a bone marrow transplant which is considered a possible curative fix for this type of AML for some patients. Although Tina has characterized this journey as the most spiritual and transcendent experience of her life, she is now in that further uncharted land of survivorship where gratitude and rebirth live in an uneasy partnership with frustration, fear, and loneliness.
