Danielle Bradford’s daughter, Amelia Radford, was saved by blood transfusions while she battled cancer, and Danielle is spreading awareness.
“Around September of 2020, she got a little bruise under her eye and she was just a wiggly baby so I didn’t think anything of it,” said Radford.
But when Amelia’s eye started to drift, she took her to a hospital
“We went into the hospital thinking maybe she had some sort of head injury, ‘cause all we saw was her eye was misaligned and a bruise,” added Radford. “But we never thought we were going to hear the word cancer.”
At only 8 months old, Amelia was diagnosed with stage 4 neuroblastoma.
“With the treatments and to keep her on track, she did receive multiple blood transfusions both with the blood cells and the platelets,” explained Bradford.
After multiple blood transfusions and 8 rounds of chemo, Amelia was declared cancer-free in September 2021.
“She just got to have a little bit of more normalcy when she got that,” added Radford. “And that’s why we have a heart with what the Red Cross does with donations.”
