Dianna's Journey w/ Fanconi Anemia: August 2006

Welcome to Dianna's webpage.

It has been provided to keep friends and family updated on her life with Fanconi anemia (FA).

Dianna was diagnosed with FA in April 1998.

FA causes aplastic anemia (bone marrow failure), as well as many different types of cancers.

She had a few of the obvious signs of FA: missing both thumbs, deaf in her right ear, very small for her age, and had corrective surgery at birth on her intestines.

Dianna had a sibling donor bone marrow transplant at Medical City Dallas, TX.

Transplant date: October 1, 2008

Dianna went to heaven September 1, 2009

We made it home from Cincinnati Children's Hospital Saturday Night.
Dianna and Mom were very tired.
Dianna is still sore from her Bone Marrow Biopsy. :-(
I will not know results of all the tests for 10 days to two weeks.
I will update when I know....

Wednesday, Dianna and Mom leave for Cincinnati Children's Hospital for the final screening evaluation.
We are looking into a Pilot Study.
(If she qualifies for the study after this final testing.)
I will update when I get the results.
