Leukemia stem cell donor from Germany saves Massachusetts woman’s life

NEW BEDFORD, Massachusetts — If a person 3,000 miles away in Germany hadn’t come into New Bedford, Massachusetts, resident Deborah Sousa’s life when he did in 2016, she in all probability would not be right here in the present day.

To Sousa, that July seven years in the past felt like another. She had no indication of the information she’d obtain that month throughout a routine check-up at her physician’s workplace.
