116: Amanda Ferraro - Acute Myeloid Leukemia Survivor - Manalapan, New Jersey, USA

Thanks to a misdiagnosis, for two months Amanda Ferraro was walking around with acute myeloid leukemia and didn’t know it. But after a return to the doctor’s office and subsequent bone marrow biopsy, Amanda was diagnosed. After an aggressive regimen of induction chemotherapy, she went into remission; but six months later, the cancer returned. Amanda underwent another bone marrow biopsy and was put on another chemo regimen. She was told the only thing that could save her would be a stem cell transplant. Miraculously, a donor was found, and the transplant was performed. These days Amanda is a patient advocate and pushes for laws in the New Jersey Legislature that come to the aid of those diagnosed with cancer.
