I was diagnosed in November and started the 'process' pretty much immediately. They had to schedule a heart cath procedure late Dec (they wanted to get a better look at the heart) and then start on vitamins and get some Epo shots to boost my RBC (I have thalassemia), etc. The actual procedure was scheduled for Feb 28... so it took about 3 months for the whole process to play out.
