I haven't been on here for awhile and started to reply to another post when my computer died and I can't find it again. But I just want to say to anyone having a Bone Marrow Transplant it is well worth all the issues. My husband was 68 yrs old when we found out out his MDS and 19% blast per bone marrow biopsy. He was immediately sent to our local Bone Marrow Clinic on a Tuesday and the following Thursday started his chemo. He did start out as an outpatient but had a severe reaction to the very strong chemo and was hospitalized for quite sometime and actually was told at that time he wouldn't be a good candidate for transplant. Well with the support of a physical therapist he was able to regain his strength and received his transplant Feb, 14 2022. Let me say it wasn't without some issues but all tolerable. As of next Feb he is 3 yrs out from transplant and things are all looking up at his last checkup this month. His was an 100% donor for which we are thankful everyday. So please if anyone is thinking about doing the transplant it is well worth a second chance at life. and this blog site and Lori got me through a lot of craziness. Amen and prayers to all that come to this diagnosis.
