I'm 77 so I know what he's going through with not being able to get a BMT or SCT because of our age. Tell dad to hang in there. Just have him go more slowly with his daily activities, I know it's hard to slow down after all these years. This disease can sometimes move very slowly. I've been watching my numbers ever so slowly go down for 6 years and I'm still around. I promised my wife I'm going to hang in there for 8 more years and after that, who knows, maybe 8 more. Stay positive.
