News We Love: Father receives the gift of life from daughter

Michael Shore learned he had leukemia last August and received a stem cell transplant from his daughter Angela at Novant's Forsyth Medical Center in North Carolina.
The transplant followed the challenging diagnosis, as doctors said without it, Michael had about an 85% chance of relapse and only a 15% chance to survive more than three years.
Angela provided stem cells from herself for an allogeneic transplant, marking the first time this treatment was performed at Forsyth Medical Center, following the emotional impact of her father's leukemia diagnosis.
Last week, Michael found out he is in remission. Although he continues to experience both good and challenging days, he is concentrating on improving his platelet levels. Angela expressed her deep appreciation for the opportunity to support him through this journey.
This case highlights the importance of stem cell donation within families and suggests that such procedures can significantly improve outcomes for leukemia patients.
