I was trolling through the forums as I usually do, and found this thread bumped for an awesome reason! I would love to donate bone marrow to a cause that I feel so passionate about, however, I think I'll wait 5 years from the date of my remission to make sure my marrow is "healthy." But yeah, everything is going good. My entire mindset on life is completely changed. I LOVE life now, I try to do as much as possible with the time that is given to me! I was always the type of person to be happy to just go to work, come home, watch tv, and thats that. This past January I took a vacation to FL (my first ever vacation out of state), and I'll be going back again in April. I also took the plunge and bought a car I've been wanting for literally YEARS. I also look at people quite a bit differently. I never judge, and I keep an open mind. Fighting my own battles has made me realize that everyone has their own problems, they don't me or anyone else judging them in any way, or looking at them differently. Going a little off topic, sorry, but I have been in remission since 3/11/09, and plan on staying that way until I kick the bucket! If you, or ANYONE you know gets sick, PLEASE tell them to check out the cancer center in the UW madison hospital. It truly is an amazing place.
