That’s when Allie, who years earlier had opted into a bone marrow registry, got the call:Would she help save a dying stranger? Acute myeloid leukemia – a rare, fast-growing blood and bone marrow cancer originating from abnormal blood stem cells – tends to affect older adults, according to Yale Medicine. A doctor after one chemotherapy treatment told David he had a 5% chance of survival because his type of this cancer had a genetic mutation “that was really, really bad,” David recounted. Nowadays, most transplants use stem cells from donor blood – rather than bone marrow – in a much less complicated process, according to the Cleveland Clinic. “You’re a little sore, you’re a little tired, but you get to go home that night, and it’s really, really rewarding,” she recalled.

The Instagram message popped up from a girl named Chelsea: “Howdy.”David didn’t know anyone named Chelsea, but he clicked through her profile: She had brown hair and a nice smile; under her name was a quote from the Bible. He was hesitant when she asked him to chat, but soon her flirty messages escalated to a volley of explicit pictures, and David, a 32-year-old pharmacy technician, got carried away. When she asked him for a nude, he hardly thought twice, he said. He slipped into the bathroom at the New Jersey hospital where he works, took a picture and hit send. David’s phone lit up with messages: pictures he had sent with his genitals exposed alongside screenshots of his Instagram followers with whom he shares a last name — his family.
