hello, im glad your feeling better now, we saw the consultant this week and he did another bone marrow aspirate on her to see if she has worsened, we will have the resullts in a couple of weeks then we will decide on treatment.

he talked about starting atg in about for weeks he said they use either rabbit or horse, so i will ask him aboiut it next time i go.
He talked about side effects ect which sound a bit of a worry, i hope she deals with it ok, he also mentioned the risk of developing lukemia later on, but there is risks i suppose with whatever you do.

ella seems to be coping remarkably well, she still runs around all day eats lots and is not tired lol.
It is a relieve to finally be talking about treatment as the diagnosis has taken so long.

How are you now? are you in remmision?
