@denisestlouie - Your determination to do everything you can is inspiring. I can understand the difficulty in dealing with the diagnosis - I am coming up on the 1 year anniversary of the cancer diagnosis and it still feels unreal at times. I also have an autoimmune disorder and successfully avoided getting COVID thru the pandemic and was starting to feel like life could be normal again.

Then the symptoms started, many tests with no diagnosis, ending months later with an ambulance ride and hospital admission. I was discharged 3 weeks later after a diagnosis of a rarer form of an aggressive blood cancer and a week of chemotherapy in the hospital.

As someone who spent a career using logic to solve problems, it is a challenge to accept that I may not be able to solve this one. Waiting now to find a bone marrow donor for a transplant so I am learning each day what patience and trust mean. Reading about other people’s experiences and determination motivates me to keep believing. So thanks again for sharing your story.

I too am hoping to post a good result to this journey in the future to give someone else hope. So with all of that shared, please know that I am sending positive thoughts and wishes for your continued remission.
Here’s to happy endings.
