Thanks for your quick response. I had an auto. We live about an hour from a Blood Cancer Center, which is in Denver. a wonderful resource, but also am aware that they may have a bias toward length of survival versus quality of life. I feel like my general oncologist does a little bit better with quality of life issues and telling it like it really is. I understand your comment about horror stories, with the stem cell transplant. I just tried to collect as much info as I could, and plan for both the best outcome and the worst. So glad to hear things have gone well for you although you have had lots of bumps coming down!
