Radiation

Hi Rob, Thank-you for your private e-mail. I thought I would add a comment here since I am here now! I am so confused about this radiation issue. My transplant doc said they would give me the strongest that they have both radiation and chemo due to my age and good health. I am 12 years older then you, do you think it has to due with the fact that I have a more aggressive dX?
I really wish that I didn't have to have radiation. I am worried about other cancers but I guess that is not being my positive self! Sooo much to ponder! After all theses years I found out that I am O- today! Did they have you take the CMT test for the mono-herpes virus? It is suppose to have an effect on the HVS outcome? I had my periodontal teeth cleaning today. I picked a good day my WBC was 8 and 55% neutrophils. Last week 3.3 and 33%. The Vidaza does something but I won't hold my breath. Stay Strong! Vera
