DanL and Bailie - you both continue to inspire me - I'm glad, despite the setbacks you are both positive and doing well.
Data - No doubt stories of relapse, GVHD and such, while inspiring, can also be a bit scary - I'm very mindful that I'm near the time post transplant when DanL and Bailie relapsed.
There are plenty of other scary stories on this board and others - but there are also some very good outcomes who aren't necessarily posting ten years post transplant - There's always Robin Roberts for inspiration - perhaps you noticed how buff and energetic she was on the Oscars?
Going into transplant there is a lot to fear - but try and push the fear away and focus on the best results that could and will happen to you. Believe you will end up cured - and believe you will overcome the bumps along the way. We're all rooting for you!
Best,
P.
