Thanks Neil... yes I think I will do as you suggested, to carry a card with me.
And Melissa, thanks so much. This is certainly a longer road than I expected. But yeah, u are right about the diagnosis name just being different. I am having a chat to the BMT Doctor in about a month. My Hemo said that because I am 34 that BMT might be an option in the years to come if I needed it. Not sure what we'll talk about. Because for now I just have to get on with my life I guess!
Nice to have u here to talk to! Hope u guys are doing ok. I'm cool.
