A double nicord cord blood transplant
changed Sosa's life forever

Treating sickle cell is often compared with a marathon. For young people suffering from sickle cell, life is focused on treating pain episodes and preventing infections. Blood transfusions and long hospital stays are also common. Strokes can also be a risk and this was the case for Sosa. 

After years of fighting sickle cell anemia, doctors realized Sosa needed more. She needed a stem cell transplant and recommended that she consider participating in a clinical trial at the time. At the ripe age of 12 years old, Sosa underwent an innovative procedure to try to cure her of sickle cell -- a double nicord cord blood transplant.  The procedure worked and she was declared cured.

Join us on Wednesday, April 19th to hear Sosa describe life before, during and after the cord blood transplant process. She will speak in detail regarding: 
  1. The experience of being diagnosed with sickle cell anemia.
  2. Being identified and selected for a cord blood clinical trial.
  3. Navigating the transplant process and the challenges associated.
  4. Hearing the words "you are cured of sickle cell anemia".
