Kat I have smm too and don't want my daughter to be depressed. I guess I'm scared enough for both of us. I told her it is a bone marrow disorder. I haven't had any treatment yet because it's wait and watch. Although I'm hooked up with Mayo Clinic now and may qualify for a trial. If I do that I will have to tell everyone more. I agree with everyone that having mental health support as well as a support group is necessary. Pleasedont be depressed alone. xxxooo
