I hope Tina's blasts reduce really quickly. Will look forward to further news. I truly admire your positive attitude and always look forward to your posts. That fishing episode probably did you both a lot of good. Think of all the positive ions that you take in at the beach!

When my blasts dropped I took leave from my job and my husband and I were on the road in our Toyota Hiace campervan within 5 weeks. I've now retired and we're still on the road travelling around Australia, though we did do a house-sit for 3 months earlier this year while I had my next biopsy, etc. Every now and then I feel unwell and as though my blast count is increasing, but then things seem to settle down and I feel quite normal again. I think MDS can be like that.

All the very best to you both as you fight this new battle. You are in my prayers.
