About The Blog

My name is Rana Robillard and my dear friend, Tanhya DeBourne, was recently diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML).  She is 53 and in otherwise good health.  I am writing this blog in partnership* with Tanhya as she is quite focused on her treatment and recovery. 

The main purpose of this blog is to simply help or share with others who may be beginning a similar journey.  Neither of us are medical professionals** and we are not suggesting any treatment plans or guidance (please see your healthcare professionals for your individual care and diagnosis). The medical advancements for AML are occurring at a very fast rate, and we found some of the blogs had older information given the speed of these changes.
