What a wonderful interview. I can see your journey as if i was right there. Ten years too. You spoke of the people moving on after your original treatment ended and life went on for them. I think i really felt that as well.
I found this site looking online about BMT's for my MDS. Up popped Mayo with information and a link to Mayo connect. I joined right away. I had friends with cancer, but zero who had BMB's or a BMT.
Thank you for being here. Lori was there to cover the transplant to start, then I found people like you who spoke of the journey forward. All of you have been supportive and helpful in life after transplant on going.
Minnesota!! My dad's family originated from there. I love reading of your husband in you traveling and enjoying life. Possibly engaged in all the activities you wanted to do when you had time. What a blessed story to read.

@katgob Thank you for your comment! I remember those first tentative years, when I wasn’t quite sure if I was going to survive.
My first grandson was born a month after my transplant and I was just so excited to be able to meet him. Now he is going to be 10 years old, and I am very grateful to be able to watch him and his younger siblings grow up. Life is good!
