Like you I was diagnosed with Blasto not too long ago - dont be discouraged, a lot of people have made a lot of progress in their fight against it - there is so much to learn here and if you have a good doctor as well, you will make good progress. I truly believe it all starts in the mind, if you can be really positive and BELIEVE you're going to get well, it will happen. Like you I've been ill for years, and at least now we have a definite direction to go in, it wont be easy, but there is a lot of support here.
