Hi there just wondering how things are going...

Thanks for replying to my "worried" post. 9 hour drive to Mayo-wow. Do they coordinate with a local hematologist? Do you get your meds/infusions at Mayo? I have just LOVED everyone and the care at mayo. Where will you be having your stem cell transplant? I see Dr Baudi there. I am sure my results will be ok and we will continue to wait and see. Like a ticking time bomb. I can't believe you had so many fractures! You must have been in horrible pain. Thanks for sharing a bit of your story! Julie
