You have at your fingertips support groups, people you can talk with, options, great opportunities to participate in research and findings of your own with physicians and scientists. Medical advancements are taking place so rapidly these days. It's good to know these things. So far no one in the family matches. Yet I may not need a transplant at all.
Radiation can cause secondary malignancies.
So if I can go another route I may choose to do so. Thank you Lynn and Dave Frohnmayer for creating the FA Research Fund. Thank you Leslie and Linda for your friendship, for being so persistent and for allowing me to share my story with individuals and our support group. For those I have not met and those who have lost a loved one, I hope to meet you next year at Camp Sunshine. I am eager to reunite with the many friends I made for the first time this year.
