If you were diagnosed with blood disorder tomorrow, what would you do to find a stem cell donor who could save your life?

Amal and Zara speak to Anie Hussain, who was diagnosed with rare blood disorder aplastic anemia at the age of 17. However, Anie is from an ethnic minority background, therefore finding a stem cell donor who was a good match was incredibly hard since so few of us from ethnic backgrounds are part of the donor register.

In this episode, we discuss:

· Anie’s journey after being diagnosed with cancer

· Searching for a stem cell donor

· The Anthony Nolan stem cell transplant register

· What YOU can do to help
