After facing breast cancer, Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML), Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS), and numerous life-threatening complications, Mildred's future seemed uncertain. With no family donor match and no suitable donor found through worldwide registries, hope arrived in an unexpected form, a newborn baby's cord blood donation.
In My Friends, Cordel & Cordelia, Mildred shares her powerful story of faith, perseverance, cancer survival, stem cell transplant recovery, and the miracle of cord blood donation. Through personal testimony, she reveals how two children she never met became part of her life-saving journey and why greater awareness of cord blood banking, bone marrow donation, and minority donor registration can save countless lives.
This inspirational memoir combines hope, resilience, faith, medical insight, and advocacy while encouraging readers to understand the life-changing impact of cord blood donation and stem cell transplantation. A moving story of survival and gratitude, it reminds us that even the smallest act can become someone's second chance at life.
