Platelets, Plasma Help Local Cancer Patient Recover

Hanna-resized.jpg

Hanna Richey was diagnosed with stomach cancer in 2005, just a decade after recovering from lymphoma. She started chemotherapy and needed a stem cell transplant immediately. Because of the aggressive treatment, Hanna suffered from severely low blood counts and needed eight blood transfusions of platelets and plasma. Thanks to blood transfusions and great medical care, she beat the cancer within a year and has been in remission ever since.
