Kathy I am so very sorry for your terrible loss. My husband was diagnosed with MDS in late November 2023. He was referred for a stem cell transplant at Mayo and began chemotherapy and transfusions with our local cancer center. We have had a wild ride with several hospitalizations, blood counts three times a week and many transfusions. At last a donor has been found and pretransplant testing scheduled. My heart goes out to you. This could easily happen to us. Be gentle with yourself in your grief.

I really appreciate your note. I've been having a terrible day. My prayers are with you and your husband with the stem cell transplant and treatments. It is a very hard disease to deal with. I'm aware the transplant process can be very difficult, but just think, he will be cured! Best of luck on your journey and I would love it if you could keep me posted on his progress.
