Clinical Trial
Had clinical trial in order to have bone marrow transplant. Chemo treatments didn't put me in remission.
Anniversary

Dec 8th 2012 will be 3 years since my transplant.
Problem with doctor
Oh No
First doctor said he couldn't do anything more. Just to enjoy what time I had left. Was told there was a clinical trial I could do, but did not recommend, saying it wouldn't work and would just make me sick.
Chemotherapy
Drug or Chemo Therapy
I was very lucky as far as getting the chemo. I did not get sick. But also after 4 rounds of chemo I was still not in remission.
Chemo brain
Side Effects
I still have chemo brain. Also dealing with Post Trauma Stress disorder.
