Jermaine Reid's Spirituality Through AML

Jermaine Reid of Georgia was playing a recreational basketball game when, all of a sudden, he couldn't catch his breath.   Jermaine had not been to the doctor in quite some time and he knew something was wrong.Next thing you know, he was in the Bone Marrow Transplant Unit at Northside Hospital, unable to be around his children.  He was fighting with acute myeloid leukemia.   But it was a chance meeting with another patient on his second day that completely changed his perspective.   All of a sudden he heard a voice tell him, "This is Your Assignment."  Jermaine takes us through his battle with AML, his newfound friendship with a fellow patient, and how at every step of the way, his faith sustained him.  He cites several Bible verses which rang especially true for him in his time of need.Jermaine gives us several great pieces of advice for fellow patients, including keeping perspective and goals in mind - and not getting hung up on the numbers.  And he also talks about how important a made bed can be.We close by talking about our guest's continued advocacy in this space, including a recent speaking engagement at Northside Hospital and going to college campuses.  ResourcesDKMS, https://dkms.orgBe The Match, https://bethematch.orgNational Bone Marrow Transplant Link - (800) LINK-BMT, or (800) 546-5268.nbmtLINK Website: https://www.nbmtlink.org/nbmtLINK Facebook Page:  https://www.facebook.com/nbmtLINKnbmtLINK YouTube Page can be found by clicking here.Thank you to this season's sponsors:The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, www.lls.orgSanofi: https://www.sanofi.com/  National Bone Marrow Transplant Link - (800) LINK-BMT, or (800) 546-5268.nbmtLINK Website: https://www.nbmtlink.org/Check out our valued nbmtLINK resource books, some for sale, some free as downloadable, https://www.nbmtlink.org/shop/nbmtLINK Facebook Page:  https://www.facebook.com/nbmtLINKFollow the nbmtLINK on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/nbmtlink/The nbmtLINK YouTube Page can be found by clicking here.This content is provided for informational purposes only and is not intended to substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.  It is crucial to consult directly with a qualified healthcare professional regarding any medical conditions, treatment options, or other health concerns.The views and opinions expressed by the speakers are their own and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the nbmtLINK.  Unless otherwise stated in an official policy, the nbmtLINK does not endorse any specific treatments, products, or services mentioned by the speakers.
