Testimonials from Patients and Families

My sweet daughter Holly Elizabeth went to retrieve my car parked in medical tower while my nurse took her own busy time instead of waiting on transport, to roll me the Medical Pavillion to meet. My nurse of course had been so wonderful to me and I started telling her about a young lady who had the same leukemia as me but a year or so after. Same doctor, same treatment, though I never got to meet her, her husband and I Texted every now and then. I told my nurse I felt drawn to her and worried about her, especially when she relapsed and had to have the SCT. I was leading up to the wonderful AES foundation and how just recently I have benefited greatly with the generosity of the foundation. The nurse started asking a few more questions and finally said, that has to be Angela Seed married to Tripp Seed. I said yes of course. She said Angela made such an impression on her and so many other nurses, they still remember her vividly. She told me how sweet she was and always pleasant and kind. She absolutely remembered her very well. The nurse’s name was Kelli, tall with dark hair. And she was one of my favorites this round. And she talked along remembering sequences of events Angela went through and how she was always so brave. Angela’s presence is still palpable in those nursing units. As many patients as they do see, they remember her vividly. That was a great honor to your daughter, to be remembered in such a lovely way. I now am being prepared for a SCT May 8. I am very worried about going through this. I am not young. And I’m just recovering from CAR-T therapy which has left me so weakened. I had extended side-effects which caused hospitalization. And now heading directly into another “storm” that I’ve been informed as the roughest of all. No recovery time. I just hope I can go back to Chowan County a few days before this upcoming three -four month ordeal. Thank you again for your graciousness in assisting me navigate through this intense situation. I would appreciate prayers very much. Melody White rag me to add paragraph to your block, write your own text and edit me.

Patient became tearful when I called him today as the cable company had informed him that they would turn the cable off today if payment wasn't received. You and your foundation are a Godsend. Have a great and blessed Thanksgiving, Frank, as I know we all are thankful for you and your foundation.Sincerely, Katie
We would like to Thank AES Cancer Foundation, for the financial assistance that was given to our Family. The nowhere to turn during the most difficult time was very hard and stressful while my husband was going through his Autologous Transplant Procedure (Stem Cell Transplant). The difficulty of my husband not being able to work while going through the treatment caused a delay in our finances. The help of our Clinical Social Worker Katie @Duke Blood Cancer Center and AES was the biggest relief that lifted a big burden off my shoulder. It allowed me to more attentive while supporting and caring my husband during his recovery. We Thank God for Your Foundation & Wishing Continuous Success!! Sincerely, Alana & James Ridenhour
