Hi all

Been a while since I last posted, hoping your all doing well.

My wife had her allo sct in August 21 following relapse in her first diagnosis for AML in Oct 18.

Her team at UCLH have now discharged her from telephone consultations  and handed her back to Worthing Hospital who first diagnosed her AML to continue monitoring.

She's due a routine blood test next month and consultation following but she believes that they to may discharge her as it will be almost 5 years since her sct. She is getting a little anxious as she feels that she is being left on her own. I do totaly understand her feelings as having regular calls and 6 monthly blood tests are a comfort for her as she knows people are there for her. I also understand that as she has done so incredibly well following her treatment, that there are likely to be more patients sadly requiring greater contact and treatment than herself. She just feels a little vulnerable with the feeling of being "cut off".
