We are all sorry this has happened but there should be no reason, especially at your age, that you can’t come through this in great shape. I think the thing that has pulled us through so far is Ron’s complete and total faith that he can do it and will do it. As you probably know he went through all the first rounds then relapsed and had much worse to go through yet again. Never have I seen him give up, be cranky, or waver in his determination and belief. I’m not sure how he manages this but his courage makes me stronger. So against all odds he’s here and he would tell you to read Bernie Segal’s books. I’m not sure that it is at all important what or how you arrive at the point of being able to believe but just that you DO. Ron went in remission on his first round as did Suzanne and while it isn’t fun the first rounds for someone your age should go smoothly. Our thoughts will be with you. You can do it.
A note, I was interested in seeing the posting of the person who had the cord blood transplant. We weren’t able to get a match and haven’t seen much on this have you investigated it at all.
