News We Love: Father receives the gift of life from daughter

Michael Shore learned he had leukemia in August, and his daughter Angela donated stem cells for a transplant at Novant's Forsyth Medical Center in North Carolina.
Michael and Angela were deeply affected by the diagnosis, and Angela chose to donate to give her father the best chance of survival despite other possible donors.
The procedure was Novant Forsyth's first allogeneic stem cell transplant, performed to reduce Michael's high risk of relapse with acute myeloid leukemia.
Doctors said without the transplant, Michael’s relapse risk was about 85%, and his chance of living three years was only 15%, but last week he learned he is now in remission.
Michael and Angela expressed relief and gratitude after the procedure, emphasizing the importance of family support and focusing now on recovery milestones like platelet counts.
