Brandi was hooked on acting from the time she was three and played a munchkin in the Wizard of Oz. She eventually sidelined her first love to study political science at the University of Northern Alabama.
In 2011, she made history there as the first black Miss UNA. Her next coveted role was as a college intern on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. But by far, the hardest part she ever had to undertake was that of a bone marrow failure patient.

My 19 year old daughter was just diagnosed in October with aplastic anemia with a mild clone of PNH . Life has been put on hold for her. Currently intervention is being down with immunosuppressant drugs while they look for a donor. Thanks for sharing your story.

I am glad I found this video very helpful to me, last June 2020 I was diagnosed with Aplastic Anemia as well PNH. It has been difficult for me because I don't have anyone to talk to. My is not severe, so I am not a candidate for treatment at this time but I suffer from low blood and I get infections real easy.

Such a wonderful story. I'm new to this Aplastic anemia and MDS with my 11 year old baby. I was her half-matched donor for her bone marrow transplant. I REALLY need to find that doc from NYU here in NY. My heart is overwhelmed. Thank you for sharing. Would love to talk. Could really use the support from people who KNOW. God bless 🙏🏾

Hi Tenya, Thank you for reaching out and we are glad to hear Brandi's story has given you hope. The physician she is referring to is Dr. David Araten at NYU who treats adult patients with PNH. Would you be interested in talking with a pediatric physician in NY? Also, you can connect with other pedicatric parents on two facebook support groups- Band of Mothers, facebook.com/BandOfMothersInTheFightAgainstAplasticAnemia/ and Global MDS Pediatric Group, facebook.com/GlobalPediatrcMDSInitiative/. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

We are sorry to hear your brother has not yet had a response to ATG. Some patients do need a second round of ATG for the treatment to work. There is treatment for PNH. Your brother's physician can request access to PNH treatments through Alexion Pharmaceuticals here: alexion.com/our-commitment/global-access-to-medicines-program . Please provide this link to your physician. We hope your brother is feeling better soon.

Thank you for reaching out to AAMDSIF. There are many factors that go into determining the prognosis of a course of treatment that need to be considered. This question is best addressed to a qualified hematologist/oncologist who has reviewed the patient's medical records. Transplants are complicated by many factors including (but not limited to) comorbid conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, previous cancer treatments. This is not something that you can get an answer to online. If you'd like to discuss this further or get a referral to a healthcare provider, please send an email to help@aamds.org. Julie P
