I was told that I had 1 month to live without treatment & 6 months with treatment. That was 4 years ago! Thanks to a wonderful young man in the UK who donated his cells for me to be able to receive a bone marrow transplant I went into remission. You have to watch for things like graft vs host disease (gvhd). Which is scary. There's an explanation for it that's lengthy. We're trying to get the word out about these life aging cell donations. He wasn't told how sick I really was. We have since been able to connect. It's awesome! What people don't tell you is that things don't go back to normal after you reach remission. You now have a different kind of normal.
