Hey Dina, welcome to the group. As Don would say, sorry you had to find us. I too am from Ma., just south of Boston and was seen at MGH by Dr. Stone. He was not the diagnosing physician, although he agreed I may be in remission in June of 2010 and I still am. (knock on wood). I am currently being seen at Boston University every six months for blood and all. Stay on top of your symptoms and don't be afraid to talk to all of us here. I don't say much but I do read a lot on the site. Take care,
Dale

Hi D.B. and Dale an welcome to our "family" We all have become so close on here,sharing just about everything that we are more like a family than just people talking back and forth. My husband (who drown about 5 years ago ) and by best friend that I used to work at the airlines with and traveled everywhere with were both from Boston. I have been there several times and love the city (hate the traffic ) Would go to Faneuil Hall or have lobster rolls at the Cape. Was glad to see the Red Socks win also !!! Hope you both are seeing good specilist that really know W.G. and D.B hope you can get your rtx soon. Keep us posted and both of you take care !

Me, too, Deb. I know you have a BF now, but that would be a wound that would never completely heal. My heart goes out to you and his friends and family.
