Diane,
Oh my....go through with it. Our minds can play games with us. I m a nurse, i will know when it is time!! I say tell that little lady to take a nap. You wrote all the reasons it is a good reason to go.

For me, a BMB is my body telling me what the blood looks like coursing through my veins. How else would we know about blasts!! A blood infection. Not getting through a Nordstroms shopping spree. Those are all the bodies clues.
I was diagnosed low to medium. My hematologists gave me a way to look at it. Six Kathys have MDS, with no treatment 3 could be dead in less that 5 years. the other three have varying spans of time left. Noone knows. Yikes!! Did i want to watch and wait!!! I already knew i had Brca2 and a TP53 mutation. Would i be one who gets to glide along with some issues here and there?
Why do they think a BMT is right for you? I have learned that when i have a test it is summed up in a report to me in my portal. The Dr gets more in his report in medical details. April 9, 2024, was my transplant. The side effects i have are mostly the same ones from the chemo from my breast cancer.
I had a 10/10donor. You have a supportive husband and family. Ask the nurse in you to take a seat, because the patient Diane needs to do what she feels is right. Your body and your choice.
