http://marrowmommy.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Diagnosed with AML in 2007, allogenic stem cell transplant recipient and mother of two. Monday, November 29, 2010. Like night and day. This month my dad and I got in the car to drive to Boston's, Dana-Farber for my six month check-up. After an extra long wait in the waiting room my name was called. My doctor looked at me and said, "How far out are you? I see where they are both coming from, even though its like night and day, I put myself somewhere right in between and I am happy there.

MarrowMommy: April 2011
http://marrowmommy.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Diagnosed with AML in 2007, allogenic stem cell transplant recipient and mother of two. Wednesday, April 6, 2011. I visited my new primary and I love him. I had just about given up on finding a primary doctor that can meet all my needs. However, he was completely honest with the fact that I will face osteoporosis very soon, since my 39 year old body is in menopause. His words were, "Use it or lose it! Is anyone out there trying to get back on a workout routine? Links to this post. Monday, April 4, 2011.

http://marrowmommy.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Diagnosed with AML in 2007, allogenic stem cell transplant recipient and mother of two. Monday, March 21, 2011. The rest of my January apt. After my hematologist and I talked, he left the room to get my blood work results. As normal he walked in, sat down and explained everything looks good, blood looks good. O.K. great, and lets go, but no! As I called my husband, and relayed this information, there seemed to be a long, uncomfortable silence. I asked what was wrong? Links to this post. Am I really the o...
