The office staff was very hush-hush about it when he was out but I think it was Leukemia.

He's not very talkative and really not someone who'd open up.......especially to a patient. If it were another woman/doctor I think I could probably start a conversation with her about it. But it's just different with a man. It seems very personal and not appropriate to bring it up. Maybe I'm wrong but my relationship with him just isn't that "open". I mean, he's a great Neuro but that's as far as I've opened up with him.

I research everything he suggests to me anyway so I'm not going to begin a new med or anything without plenty of study.

He brought up Gilenya as a possible medication for me. He has never mentioned that one before but the Tysabri was an ongoing conversation with him. I thought he'd be glad to hear that I'm finally open to trying it. Oh well....
