Thank you, UIHC!

In 2015, my husband Chris was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). He received his life-saving stell cell transplant at University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics (UIHC).

Thank you for your loving care UIHC!

From Chris

I wish this would have been around when I had Leukemia.

While spending a year battling leukemia, I spent a lot of my time in bed, resting from the effects of not only the Leukemia but the chemotherapy being used to treat the disease.

While the stem cell transplant is the reason I live a normal life today, one of the immediate side effects was a pain in my hands that was, at times, unbearable.

This amazing invention would have been so helpful for the year I spent, in and out of the hospital, bedridden and ultimately recovering from cancer." - Chris Diamond
