Hi @jbforet. Last we talked this was just a recommendation so I’m happy for you that you’re able to go ahead with the BMT for MDS! It’s quite a journey, which I referred to as more like an odyssey. ☺️ But it is the path forward to a 2nd chance at life.
Having a higher risk MDS, with potentially morphing to AML, you’re wise to do this preemptively. If I remember reading one of our earlier conversations your bloodwork was showing an increase of blasts in the blood. So this is good to get underway now!
It’s great your sister will be your donor! Keeping it in the family… hope there’s no sibling rivalry with conversations such as “You owe me now!” 😅
I know it’s going to cut into your golfing for a while but if all goes according to plan, you’ll be having many more pleasant years ahead on the course! So keep those clubs polished!
Like I mentioned before I’m here, along with the rest of us who have had our BMTs, to offer support and encouragement along the way…so don’t hesitate to pop in when you feel like giving an update! In the meantime, do you have any specific questions or concerns?
What is the actual Day 0?
