I belatedly want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, and look forward to a Happy New Year for all. I will be entering North Shore LIJ, New York on January 17, 2012 for pre transplant chemo conditioning and am scheduled to receive a bone marrow transplant from a generous and wonderful young woman on January 24, 2012. I am nervous and thankful for the opportunity. I hope to continue to communicate throughout the process, but please understand if there are gaps.
Thank you for the information and support from literally around the world, I wish you all the best of health and happiness.

Happy New Year, everyone! Donna, best of luck to you with your transplant. I'll be looking forward to your postings when you're up to it.

Ann,

Shortly after I was diagnosed with MDS RAEB 1-2k in July 11 by a bone marrow biopsy, I was referred to a transplant specialist. Following a 2nd biopsy, the dr. explained the only ''cure'' would be a transplant. I did receive 2nd and 3rd diagnoses, including Dr. Steensma of Dana Farber in Boston and it was the same: a transplant was the most viable route, sooner rather than later. I thought I would have one by November, certainly by December, so for me January seemed like it took so long. It seems based on my overall health profile, that there was a window with the most chance for success. Following 3 rounds of Vidaza, which did not improve my blood count #s, but may have reduced or held the blasts at bay. I will have my 4th bone marrow biopsy this Wednesday for most current information. I will undergo the transplant, weeks before my 65th birthday. I feel healthier and stronger than I have in months and am keeping a positive attitude.

Of course, I was extremely fortunate that a match was found early on.

Donna may this be the year you are cured! I will keep you in my prayers!
