Ahnaleigh Simmonds grew up in Dartmouth until the age of five. Her family relocated, first to Thailand and then to China. During the last few years, Simmonds has volunteered numerous times at Jiahui International Hospital. Now, she's featured on a billboard at the hospital.

In this episode, Peggy interviews Beth Ades, who shares her compelling journey after being diagnosed with Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) in 2021. Beth's story begins with mysterious bruises on her legs, leading to a diagnosis that required immediate hospitalization and numerous tests. Despite a harrowing seven-month diagnostic process, Beth was eventually diagnosed with MDS and was told her only chance of survival was a bone marrow transplant.Beth recounts the emotional and physical challenges she faced, including a life-saving transplant from a 19-year-old donor in Germany. The connection between Beth and her donor has evolved into a meaningful relationship, showcasing the profound impact of such donations. Despite the difficulties, Beth's experience has been transformative, igniting a passion in her donor to pursue medicine and advocate for bone marrow registries.Post-transplant, Beth faced severe side effects such as mucositis, which she describes as far more than just mouth sores, but a condition affecting her entire gastrointestinal tract. Her proactive approach and close communication with her medical team were crucial in managing these issues.  This acute GVHD passed, but she still deals with chronic GVHD in her eyes.Beth also shares the wisdom imparted by her social worker about the challenging transition back to everyday life. The first hundred days post-transplant were particularly tough as she felt isolated from her family's ongoing life. However, the experience has given her a new perspective, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging and dealing with these emotional hurdles.The interview highlights the concept of paying it forward, which Beth embraced through organizing blood drives and bone marrow registry events. Her husband also became involved by signing up as a courier for the National Marrow Donor Program, (NMDP)  reflecting their deep commitment to giving back. There is also a tribute race car in the works, yet another way this family is raising awareness on and off the track. Beth's story underscores the collective effort required in the transplant journey, from medical professionals to supportive family and community members. Her reflections on gratitude, finding humor in difficult times, and the importance of small comforts, like warm blankets, offer valuable insights for others navigating similar experiences.Beth concludes with an inspiring note on the transformative power of her journey. She appreciates the profound changes it has brought to her life, stating she would choose her transplant life over her previous one despite the hardships. Her resilience and positivity are palpable, leaving listeners with a sense of hope and the importance of community support in overcoming life's toughest challenges.Resources:Beth's Bone Marrow Journey Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100077793195673NMDP (formerly Be The Match): https://bethematch.org/National Bone Marrow Transplant Link - (800) LINK-BMT, or (800) 546-5268.nbmtLINK Website: https://www.nbmtlink.org/nbmtLINK Facebook Page:  https://www.facebook.com/nbmtLINKnbmtLINK YouTube Page can be found by clicking here.Thank you to our sponsors.
