I was told that just 10 years ago I would not have been eligible for the bone marrow transplant because of my ripe old age of 43 (last year), so I know first hand that we've come a long way...

My grandmother died when I was a baby of cancer. She was never properly diagnosed and never got the treatment she should have. We think it was thyroid cancer because of the few symptoms my mom remembers, but who knows...I've been lucky enough that my disease has been caught early enough to do something about it!!!

Thanks so much for sharing!! This is a great reminder to everyone why we should all get copies of all our tests and pathology...
