Lindsey’s Story

Site created on January 23, 2022

Lindsey was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) on January 17th, 2022. This discovery was made when she  passed out and broke her nose on January 11th, 2022. This event was unrelated to symptoms of leukemia, but the doctor at Urgent care wanted to do some blood work  just to make sure that everything was in check. Unfortunately, after a few more  rounds of blood tests and a bone marrow biopsy, the diagnosis was given. Seeking treatment at the University of Nebraska Medical Center was without a doubt the most sensible option. UNMC offers  the best specialized care as well as being the most practical choice for Lindsey and her family. She was admitted to the Fred and Pamela Buffet Cancer Center on January 21st, where she began her first day of chemotherapy against AML.

Journal entry by Jeanne Schultz —

Just a quick update! Lindsey's bone marrow  biopsy results showed no evidence of cancer!  Praise God! That was what we wanted to hear after all she has been through!

Lindsey is slowly getting back into a "normal" routine as she just started a new job. It will take time to regain her energy as the doctor said it can take at least a year after transplant to not feel so tired. She will remain on chemotherapy medication for 2 years. She has to get vaccinated again as if she were an infant.

But God has been faithful and she is excited to enjoy life again!
