'Optician spotted something in my eye - one thing saved my life'

Raj Parmar, a 22-year-old man from Leicester, was diagnosed with myelofibrosis, a rare bone marrow cancer, after an optometrist noticed blood in his eyes during a routine eye exam. The diagnosis came as a shock, and despite initially feeling healthy, Raj required a stem cell transplant by 2020, which he credits with saving his life. He emphasizes the importance of joining the stem cell donor registry, especially among minority ethnic groups, as his anonymous donor provided the critical treatment. Raj, now 33, continues to live with the condition but remains grateful for the life-saving intervention.
