Hi, Cam.
When I was first diagnosed I could have made the following statement. Notice any similarities?
My name is Ruth I am a 41 year old mother of two recently diagnosed with MDS. I am lucky in that I live near Los Angeles California and can go to the City of Hope clinic for treatment. This was found by a fluke when I had a physical. Since then I have spent more time in a Doctors office than I have in my first 41 years... I am going to whip this so I can see my two kids graduate HS.
Now here's an update: I did whip MDS, my husband and I saw our two kids graduate high school, and then saw them graduate college and start their careers. I'm working full time, finished my Master degree's in 2011, and enjoy seeing where life takes me. I hope you have equal success.
Regards,
Ruth
