Mary Ann,
I admire your strength. My son had leukemia (AML) at the age of 36 and I know what he went through as I was with him through it all. As hard as going through chemo for breast cancer is you can't even begin to compare it to what you go through for leukemia. I actually got tired of keeping track of how many units of blood and platlets my son received. Mary Ann, you had a rough battle and you are an inspiration.
