Small world...
Thank you for sharing your story!
I was a patient of Dr. Castro-Malaspina, as well. My doctor here in PA sent me up to him for a second opinion before i got officially diagnosed. He was wonderful. He talked to me like an adult, like a real person. My doctors here in PA always talked to me as if i was a child, rather than a 20-year-old (at that time...i'm now 22) adult. He was the one who ran the HLA testing on my sister to see if she was a match (she wasn't) and he was the one who made all the recommendations regarding my treatment plan. If i would have ended up getting a transplant, i would have wanted to get it under his care. He told me i could call him anytime if i ever had questions, and he meant it. It's interesting coming across another person on here who has dealt with him as well, especially since there are so many doctors there.
Good luck to you!
