I wish you all the best with the treatment, I hope you get to remission quickly! I've never heard of MDL.
My decision is based on a few factors, but the treatment was long and I was self employed so not working for 7 months destroyed me, I can't do anything like that again and they're talking about a bone marrow transplant. Brutal, financially devastating for me and I just don't want to go through that.
I've had an amazing 2 years, healthy and good, but the living from blood test to blood test has caused me so much anxiety, I can barely stand it.
My children have known from the start that it was a one and done deal; if it came back, no treatment. They are respecting my wishes and we're going to travel and make (more) incredible memories for them
