The NFL reported admitted that they “knew the prognosis was poor when she relapsed after her bone marrow transplant, so the whole family spent special time at the hospital last week, but we held out hope for remission because of how brave, strong and resilient Hallie had been through her entire nine-month battle with acute myeloid leukemia and all of its complications.”
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a type of cancer that begins in the bone marrow, where blood cells are produced.
