One year ago, Cathy Haden received a bone marrow transplant and a chance at a new lease on life.

Her journey to recovery from this devastating disease was under the watchful eye of Dr. Vikas Bhushan, a specialist in hematologic malignancies and bone marrow transplantation, and his team at Medical City Dallas.
