Hi there

I just found this site and am so thankful. My Mom, who is 67 years old, was just diagnosed with AA. She lives in Canada and my sister and I and our partners live in Australia.

She is still in the hospital and feeling fine, she went in for nose bleeds and following a number of tests and a bone marrow biopsy, the hematologists working with her is very good. They are going to wait for the last few tests to come back and then begin thinking about treatment.

This is all very new and very scary for all of us. We have begun doing a lot of reading about the disease. I guess for this intial time I want to make sure we are asking all the right questions of the doctor. Can people please give me some suggestions on this?

We are trying to decide what we need to do, do we move home, how will this affect her, what support will she need. All of those things.

Any information would be so helpful.

Thank you!
