since i am new i now that i will have questions that some may not 
make much since, but please excuse them.

the question i have this time is wheter or not to persue the next 
step, which would be the transplant.

my m.d. is advising against it, and just tells me that i will be 
fine andnot to worry so much, but my concern is what if i dont 
respond to any of the medications very well, and if i do what if it 
last say until im 60 or older, and at that point be out of the 
transpant age range. Then what am i supposed to do.  I know if the 
meds last that long i should be thankful, but..i dunno.

my m.d. has reluctantly agreed to send me to be tested and put on 
the registry.  i feel like it is a pre-imptive strike torwards this 
disease, atleast at that i will have it out of the way and will know 
if there are any donors for me.

am i wrong to take this step. should i just set and wait it out, and 
then be forced to get in the "hurry up offense"?  I feel i would 
have more to gain to hav opened another option.  And should my 
doctor be so reluctant, i trust him to the max, but it doesnt seem 
like he is at all worried with what could happen in an instant.

also the hospital he wants me to got to is bowman-grey, any comments 
on that, the doctor is Dr. Hurd?  

please inlighten me.

thank you 

roger
