I’m so happy he can go through with the transplant! It is daunting to face this with the unknowns. But it is also an opportunity for a second chance at life.

For me, it was my only option and I would not be here now if I hadn’t gone ahead with bone marrow transplant. I feel amazing and just passed the 3.7 year mark! So I’m a cheerleader now for anyone about to undergo this unique journey.

If you have any questions at all, please don’t hesitate to pop in here! There are several of us who have had allogenic stem cell transplants and can fully appreciate what your husband and you are going through. The life a caregiver isn’t easy either. ☺️

Do you live near the clinic which will be doing the transplant? Are you all set with lodging?

Hello, I've been dealing with Low-risk MDS for over 5 years, and at almost 70, feel I'm not able to manage a donor given BMT. I'm being treated at Yale with Azacitidine after 2 years of clinical trial duo chemo pill started to fail. Before that in the beginning it was just blood transfusions, I've had a lot. I'm praying something is on the horizon to help prolong my life, at 69 almost 70 it seems young and I have 2 children just married and a new granddaughter. My biggest problem is no support system, I'm divorced and live alone. Thank you, Kerry
