About this episode
Send us Fan MailIn this episode of "The Most Dwanderful Podcast Ever", Dwan is updating us on the "Storm" She and bill are currently plowing through. 8 years ago Bill was diagnosed with Polycythaemia vera. That progressed into Myelofibrosis, a very rare and deadly blood cancer. The only cure for Bill was to under go a sterm cell transplant. That consisted of 4 days of extreme chemo to kill off Bill's cells and bone marrow. He had one rest day, and then underwent the stem cell transplant. Now Bill's body has to accept those new cells and avoid Graft vs. Host Disease. Dwan explains their next storm, that of housing. Bill and Dwan will require special housing for the next 6 months to be close to the hospital and to have a sterile environment, as he has almost zero immune system. This costs thousands of dollars a month, which insurance is refusing to pay. With that being said, a friend of Bill's has created a Gofund me account. Bill and Dwan won't be able to do their "usual" jobs of speaking and traveling. Now they have the added expense of Special housing and all that comes with that. If you are able, Please consider making a donation. Dwan and Bill will continue helping their students and creating content from special housing, but a little extra help would be so very appreciated. https://gofund.me/d6138b31 is the link where you can learn more about what Bill is facing and get the most recent updates from Dwan.
