Hi Lori!
I am not put off by the subjects at all. I’d rather go into this with realistic expectations. You are so right that this is my only option for a full and happy life, and the journey will be worth it. My transplant (for MDS) will be at Mayo Jax and I plan to join the BMT support group there. I am very optimistic and will do my best to stay strong. I guess my biggest concern is the worry this will cause my family and friends......

Oh you’ll love the Mayo approach to this!! You’ll be immersed in that family of your team of doctors, NPs, coordinators, etc. It’s an amazing and challenging experience but truly well worth the effort. It is always a concern for your family and friends. But at the time of transplant your main focus will have to be on yourself. That was a tough mind shift for me! LOL. I’m generally the care giver in my family; reversing roles was weird, and being the center of so much attention! May I ask your age?
