Things that please you...

So I proposed her.

She thinks about it (she wants to but has an insane amount of logistics around it, including coming back to SA) - which is a good thing, I would have been wary with an immediate yes.

After a week together and ironing out all the obstacles, it is a yes (and I can even skip lobola, double yay).

And the other good news is that I will not get more chemotherapy but rather an antibody which targets the CD30 gene. It costs an arm and a leg as Discovery will only cover 80% but I can cover it luckily.

It has far less side effects than any possible chemo and is more effective. I'll be able to work, travel, live normally and only 2 days of "infusion" (drips) per month.

Once we've found a donor (4 to 6 months), I'll go to the serious part and the allo transplant and a long recovery.

So the second good thing is that I can do everything in SA and keep a normal life.

Even if I relapse again after all that, there is a long term immunotherapy treatment which prevents it from progressing and allows to live/work normally. :)
