Hi Bailie - I have my hematologist - who managed my case until transplant - got me to the transplant doctor and also to my cardiologist - she still follows me and is totally awesome - my transplant team consisted of my transplant doctor, his PA - and several doctors, fellows and PA's who rotated every couple of weeks on the transplant unit - there was also my local hematologist who worked with my main hematologist to get me transfusions an Vidaza locally - also the team of nurses in the local infusion center who were also all wonderful. -- also the nurses and assistants on the transplant unit - who were all great - and the cardiologist at the cancer center who watched my heart through the last six months. After I was discharged I went to a transplant day hospital for about four months where I got transfusions, Ritixuin etc - I saw my doctor there as well as a special group of PA's and nurses. That was pretty much my medical "team." I feel really fortunate to have had such great people taking care of me.

At this point I see my transplant doctor or his PA - every couple of weeks and will start seeing a "survivorship" PA -- and I will likely see all of them for a while - hopefully with decreasing frequency There is some discussion of doing Vidaza as a maintenance program - and maybe Jadenu to chelate iron associated with numerous transfusions - my hematologist will be in on those decisions - and I expect to start seeing her again at some point - I also will start seeing my cardiologist at some point rather than the one at the cancer center. I haven't seen a primary care doctor since I was diagnosed.

How are you doing?
