A bit scarey, but bring it on I say! There's quite a few in the same boat. I don't feel so much like an alien now.
I am in Australia - not many of us here (my age anyway).
Take care all,

Hi Julie/Jules,
Would you mind to tell us what happened in between 20-34 years? Were you still under treatment then or were you in a remission while under some form of treatment? Was it a relapse that caused you to decide on a transplant?
I'm also from Victoria, Au.
Thanks
Peter
