    Thanks for suggesting I see a specialist. I will be going to Seattle on April 11 for a consultation and my onc will be working with them so that is good news to me, that they will be working together. They are already moving on getting bone marrow doners from my family set up. I haven’t signed up for that yet so I hope this is just preliminary!! This week I have CT scans and Brain MRI to see if my Breast cancer is truely in remission before we proceed with treatment for MDS.
    Until the appt. was set in Seattle I guess I thot this was all a bad dream. But I am awake now!!! This is really scary at the moment but The more I move forward the less that will be I imagine.
    I know that God always gives me just enough strength to do the “next thing”. So today I am drinking contrast for my CT scan. Yum!!!
    Thanks for being out there and walking alongside. It helps. Hugs, Lola

    Lola, So glad that you have doctors who are working together and looking at the whole picture and not just the individual problems. They are probably just getting ready to test family members to see if a transplant is even an option so they have all the information to give you the best possible advice. Hope the tests show no signs of breast cancer. Then on to the next step! Keep us posted. Everyone will be pulling for you.
