Hi Greg,
You are so right in saying you remember when we couldn't travel. But Promacta has changed things dramatically. We just got back from the Houston area. We drove about 3,300 miles, ate our way up and down the state of Louisiana - and Don didn't miss a beat. Last check his platelets were 123,000. Truly amazing. And he has been off Promacta since July, 2012. Currently on no MDS drugs at all.
It has been pretty soggy in the Richmond area and is still raining. But having lived on a lake for 12 years - about 10 of which the lake almost dried up - we'll take any rain we can get to keep it full.
Again, so good to hear from you and so wonderful to know you're doing so well. Wish we could run into each other at NIH sometime. We'll be there again on July 9.
Take care and stay well!
Sally
