I was told since measles area a live vaccine, i cannot have it till i hit 2 years!! My vaccine this time was 4 with one being a cousin of the flu.
I got to talk to the NP. I have found this 2nd time with the Hematology team that Hannah knows my story Like my breast oncology NP did. She can let the Dr. know through the chart. All mt blood numbers are good. She ordered the blood test to check my blood type next month.
It was wonderful attending the reunion. My neighbor went with me and my brother joined. All of us came on the train. We had ginormous buttons and i walked up to a dozen long term people and 1 year like me for stories. I was such a joy to know i was one of 20,000 transplant patients around possibly 1000 or 2 others. We could bring 2 guests, so that was good. In line for lunch, I talked with an enthusiastic HLA research dr. She loves being part of the team that gets to see the 100% match come to fruition. Reminding me the many Drs, NPs, Scientists that make a transplant possible. This is one of the times i google. HLA was known to me as 2 times when i donated platelets i was an HLA match for patients. When i think about that know, a transplant donor I could not have been. Age for first but not male either. 600 plus sets of platelets went to people and that was my donation.
Grateful for this site, that lets me be part of hope for BMT patients.
