Yes, please keep us posted.
My wife had MDS (although her original diagnosis was aplastic anemia) and was cured by a bone marrow transplant from an unrelated donor. Her donor was anonymous at the time of the transplant, but we later met the wonderful woman who donated marrow to save the life of a stranger.
Getting a second chance like that gave both my wife and me a much greater appreciation of life and of the medical professionals and friends and family who helped us get through it all. We learned that information is the key for patients to help themselves. Sharing what we know with other patients and caregivers is our way of paying back the community for the support we got.
