10. I hear what you are saying ...

and to be told years later that you were the worst patient who survived is not particularly encouraging ... except if it was told to you years later.

We never know where we fall on the 'survival spectrum' but we can hope to be one of the lucky ones and maybe bend the curve with our actions ... to be on the best part of the curve. Last week I read one of the studies presented at the recent ASH conference by the doctor's in my husband's transplant team. I can safely say that I know four, if not more, of the 100 + cases presented (some we lost touch with) in the study, two survived and two did not. Odds are 50% survival at 5 years, we just hope we beat the odds going forward and I hope you do as well.

As they say in the transplant world ... you want to be a boring patient
