Thanks, Alice - I'm sorry to say that Alan passed away on February 7th. He lived 25 years after being told he had 2 years to live - that was for HIV, and new medicines in the early 1990s saved his life. Because of that, he had long ago come to terms with his mortality. His hope regarding MDS was to hang on until some breakthrough for folks who, like him, were not SCT candidates. We had six-plus good years together, illnesses and all...
