"Dear Hickman Holder producer,

Thank you for your beautiful Hickman Holder which accompanied me through 86 days of recovery from cancer.

I am an MDS patient who underwent chemotherapy and then a successful bone marrow transplant. From Day 20 (Dec 6) when I was discharged from VGH and started being taken care of by Bone Marrow Transplant Day Care, up to Day 105 (today) when my condition is considered stable enough for the Hickman Line to be pulled, I used a beautiful Hickman Holder everyday.

Today I came home with no Hickman Line hanging from my chest. I washed my Hickman Holder, folded and slipped it back into the original transparent plastic pocket with the label card, and filed it in my MDS folder, which will be taking less and less of my attention.

Just want you to know that your work has been of huge help to cancer patients. I feel so lucky having "met" generous people like you."
