Hi Beth,

Thanks for the info. I agree about sedation for biopsy. Yale does do it and made the bmb comfortable. I also had one done at Sloan and it was no picnic, the doc said I had very hard bones, my Hubby held my hand thru it all and I nearly squeezed it off. I think patients need to speak up about the concious sedation. As far as Yale is concerned please feel free to put your 2 cents in. I did see they were not doing many transplants especially with MDS patients. To be frank I have only seen them a few times since DX. I recently checked out Dana Farbers web site and it looked promising. The anemia I have is Thalacemia minor and they said it has nothing to do with MDS, my dad is 82 and has had it all his life. Please let me know how you are doing, are you still considering stem cell transplant? If so will you go to Sloan or Dana Farber? It all scares me so. I see my local Hematoligist on Friday.
Take care Maddie
Thanks Neil!!!
