Momhelp:
My husband went through his stem cell transplant (full) when he was 67. This was for his NHL, prior to his getting tMDS. He is diabetic, has A-fib and Hep B, and various other ailments of aging. This was not easy for him by any means, but it was quite do-able. Good team of doctors and care-givers is critical, and with a lot of support she should do well with it, if this turns out to be the best choice for her treatment.
