The Bloodline with Blood Cancer United Podcast

Siblings, Stem Cells, and Second Chances


Listen Later

What happens when a sibling match becomes the key to survival?

In this heartfelt episode, we speak with Peter and Susan Feinberg, a brother-sister duo connected by both family and a lifesaving stem cell transplant. Peter, an acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) survivor, shares his experience from diagnosis to remission, while Susan offers a rare and intimate view into what it means to be a stem cell donor. Together, they reflect on the emotional and logistical challenges of transplant, the determination to succeed when miles apart, and the hope it represents. Their story sheds light on the real impact of donation—and why joining the registry can mean everything to someone waiting.
