When she got home from work, she told her husband she needed to go to the hospital. Although she didn't recall hitting her head, “I could hear a rushing sound in my ear and my vision was a little bit off," she says. "As a nurse, I knew what those signs were.” She asked her husband to take her to the emergency room.
A CT scan at the ER near her home in Livingston, Texas, confirmed her fear: She had a brain bleed.
After another CT Scan, she was flown via Life Flight to Houston’s Memorial Hermann Hospital. There she was diagnosed not only with a brain bleed — but also acute promyelocytic leukemia.
"It was quite a big shock," Donna Ford tells PEOPLE, after a fall in her hallway revealed she had a brain bleed as well as leukemia
