Marlene, thanks so much for your reply. He's being evaluated right now... He's a Vietnam veteran with ties to veterans' organizations - but sometimes those things are more of a pain than a help. His Asperger's causes him to say and do odd things sometimes. (Like, often. ) I also think he was badly affected by Agent Orange.

You certainly did and explained things the right way to your family and friends...

Only two people visited me in the hospital during my ATG treatment because my sister had told people that I "didn't need visitors." When you live with something for 40+ years and people say, "You're fine. You hardly ever get a cold. Why don't you see a psychiatrist instead of a hematologist?" then you get a bit discouraged. I'll pull out of this power dive, somehow. This year has been very, very rough.

Again, thank you SO MUCH.
