Unicorn Dreams

I think the worst kind of stress is the Waiting Kind of Stress.

Sometime either today or tomorrow, I will have the official diagnosis.Which
will mean that I will have to let go of my Unicorn Dream of "Hi there, Carin - your
bone marrow looks nice and healthy - this has all been a mistake!". That's
a really hard dream to let go of.

Will it be leukemia (in-house treatment) or MDS (out-patient treatment).
I didn't even know that MDS was in the running until Monday, when I
found out that not only do I have a room reserved at the hospital, I also
have a room reserved in out-patient. Way to mess with my brain, docs!


Oh - and I have no idea what MDS really is, other than a Pre-Leukemia that is
treated outpatient. I am eschewing Google for the time being. It's better that way.
 
How do you prepare when all of the options stink? Except for that Unicorn Dream.
How I wish the Unicorn Dream could come true!!

  1. Thinking of you... I have a good friend here in Maplewood who was originally diagnosed with MDS and it move to leukemia; he has surely had a long road but he is doing fine. Please let me know if you would like to speak surely - I'm sure he would be glad to share his story with you if it would help you
