🩸 It was a typical day for Melissa Magana. She felt fine and had no symptoms as she headed to her high school blood drive in Chino to donate. She gave blood to help others, never expecting that act would change her life.
🔬 After routine testing, LifeStream found abnormal results in her donation, indicating cancer. 🏥 Melissa was instructed to follow up at her nearest hospital and was diagnosed with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia, a fast-moving blood cancer. Thanks to early detection, she was able to begin treatment immediately.
During her journey, she received 46 pints of blood products:
🔴 27 platelets
❤️ 16 red blood cells
💛 3 plasma
