A proposito di questo titolo
Brad Buchanan survived an incurable lymphoma, but the treatment—a stem cell transplant from his brother—almost killed him. His new immune system attacked his body so violently that doctors gave him a 10% survival chance. He went blind for 18 months. His esophagus stopped working. And the paradox? That same immune system is why he’s cancer-free today.
As a former English professor, Brad uses writing and poetry to process what medical science did to his DNA. Now he runs workshops helping other cancer patients—especially men—put their experiences into words.
This episode covers what nobody tells you about life after transplant: the warning signs of graft versus host disease, why you have to educate yourself when doctors dismiss symptoms, where to find actual GVHD experts, and how writing became Brad’s way to reclaim his story.
If you’re considering a stem cell transplant or supporting someone through one, Brad shares the unglamorous truth about what comes after—and how he’s building a life with his brother’s DNA.
