I'm delighted to hear that romarin and it's an important message because it sounded like you were heading for treatment without compelling reasons to start it so early.

Hope your W&W lasts for a very long time and you keep stable and happy. Don't watch and wait too enthusiastically but by all means keep hoping.....the answer to this is out there I'm sure.

Warm regards,

Newdawn

It is the goodness and willingness of those who gave their time to interact with romarin in the way of providing information and/or questions that can be taken to Consultant / Prof Nathwani, and be of help in assessing possible options at this time, that is the making of this site.

I'm happy for you romarin .... long may your doctors watch and wait .... leaving you to deal with the day to day stuff.

thats great news for you, I am pleased with your outcome. I know how I felt in Feb when my Haematologist told me my bloods have been so stable in the year since diagnosis that he doesn't want to see me for nine months. I took that as a signal to get on with life.
