Sister Saves Sister: Bone Marrow Donation's Life-Saving Power

Bone Marrow Donation: A Family's Journey of Hope and Selflessness A Polish family's experience highlights the life-saving power of bone marrow donation. Sylwia Sopylo was diagnosed with acute leukemia, and her sister, Paulina, stepped forward as a donor. "In that moment, I felt fear," Paulina recalls, "but the gratitude for being able to help overshadowed it." The successful transplant gave Sylwia a second chance at life. The story doesn't end there. Norbert Sopylo, a brother, was also able to donate bone marrow years later. He says it was a fulfilling experience. Their story is now inspiring others to consider becoming donors. More information on the process is available on the DKMS website.
