Robert's story: Living with SC disease

We spoke to Robert about what it's like to live with sickle cell SC disease. Robert was misdiagnosed multiple times before finally receiving his diagnosis at the age of 27. He shares with us his experiences with a range of sickle cell treatments and why he feels it's important to raise awareness for sickle cell disease.

    I was diagnosed around 2. My parents were tested and my mom is AC and my dad AS. I did not start having serious problems until I turned 19. Hydroxyurea did not work and most of the treatments they have available either do not work or we don't qualify for treatments due to type. I was going to try a stem cell transplant but my sister is only my haplotype match so the doctor advised against it.
