Moffitt will treat you well!

Linda, you and Al both will be treated with respect at Moffitt. Everyone is very informative and helpful.
My husband has been a Moffitt patient the past 15 months. He had already had a successfull 25 month run on Vidaza. Unfortunately when it stopped working Rick developed all three cytopenias, GI bleed and lung infection. So he was very critical. They still were very positive assisted in his treatment till he was strong enough for a HSCT from his sister who wasa 10/10 match.
SCT for MDS is the only hope for a cure. He/We are 8 months post transplant. It is a journey of opportunity and my husband reminds me daily that life is an adventure to be lived!
The Oncology /hemotology team is exceptional and work hand in hand with the BMT team. If there is a clinical trial Al is a canidate for they will be able to advise you.
Keep the faith, we are a community routing for each other's sucess.
feel free to contact me.
