I try to use the diagnosis date but I sadly often refer to my little boys date of birth/age as my benchmark as it is easy - I never forget when he ws born and I always seem to relate treatment mlestones to how old he was...... Like scans when he was 2 days old as couldn't have them before!
Anyway Survivor from the off for me so diagnosis was when I started fighting back!
