The Freak Cast
20 + year Stem Cell Transplant Veteran, Police Officer, Mom, & My Stem Cell Mentor Tennille!!
Tennille had struggled from the time she was born off and on with unexplained illness, and no one could figure out what was going on. She was ultimately diagnosed with a rare condition called Aplastic Anemia in March 1998 at the age of 21 years old.
Tennille had an Allogenic Stem Cell Transplant (full sibling donor 100% match) on January 29, 2002 when she was 25 years old. She was a warrior then, and she is a warrior now! Her story is one that has many twists and turns along they way, but her faith and strength moved her through a very difficult process in a season of her life where she literally didn't know if she would live or die. This podcast will challenge and inspire you.
She is a 20+ year stem cell transplant veteran, a mom to her amazing daughter Lexi, a police officer, and she has an incredible impact in every area of her life! We are so excited to have her on the Freak Cast!! We have known each other for over 20 years, and it's a powerful conversation!
