@panamsandy Hmm... do you know how he meant by that? In a way, I think I see what he may be thinking, but I'm not sure. I'm not attached to the term, myself. In fact,I refrain from referring to ET as a blood cancer among the people I live with (seniors home), as I don't want people coming to me and saying, "Oh, I'm so sorry to hear you have cancer!" It's not like surgeons are going to be removing any of my body parts, like they did when my little sister had breast cancer.
