Found out recently that another young person at one of our customers started a very similar journey about the same time I did last year.  Crazy how parallel life can be.  He is being treated for leukemia, not sure which one, didn’t have the details but is at a different hospital.  Life is a crazy journey, many people never really understand.

I told my husband the other day, mostly to his shock, that if I relapsed and received a bone marrow transplant and relapsed again and there were no other options that I would want to be a part of an experimental treatment.  That way if I did die, it wouldn’t be for nothing.  That hopefully they would be one step closer to helping others.  I know it sounds strange to read and trust me its stranger to even think about.  That’s what I would want.

I believe everyone should have a death plan or as I like to call it an exit strategy.  Trust me, if you don’t plan ahead for the inevitable, how will people know what to do when you can’t make these decisions for yourself any longer?   We all die.  It’s just a matter of when and how.
