Congratulations Lynn!
Glad you are doing so well. I am on Revlimid for 5q- MDs and my oncologist is happy that my hemoglobin is 112. I keep hoping it will go up, but I have all my old energy back, which is good enough for me when I think of last year when I could hardly climb the stairs. Haven't needed a transfusion since October of last year.
It's encouraging to know that people are managing to keep normal lives with this disease which seems to be different for every person who has it. And everyone seems to be taking something different. It's very confusing for a newcomer. There is an education day in Ottawa, Ontario, in October, run by AAMAC, and I hope to get to that to find out a bit more about the disease and meet people with the same type I have.
Good luck in the future Lynn.
