Hi Ang.
You can read my thread in the Transplants forum for my play-by-play story, but I'm only a month and a bit away from celebrating my 2 year rebirthday, and I'm running a 10k race in two weeks' time! I just had a checkup with the haematologists this morning, and they really are at a loss as to what to do with me at these appointments these days, since I've got precious little to complain about. It's amazing that exactly 2 years ago, I was getting four transfusions every single week just to stay alive, and now I'm out there running for a good hour straight without stopping, trying to beat my pre-illness running times!
The transplant road ahead will be really tough, but it is possible to come through it and regain a healthy life afterwards.
