There's another patient at King's who had her transplant around the same time as me, and her story slowly emerged - this was her fifth BMT, and this time it had FINALLY worked. Apparently she's being written up for The Lancet and is being held up as a beacon of hope for everyone who's come into transplant problems. I can't even imagine her fortitude and force of will, it's awfully humbling. Stay strong for your son.
