Great to see a post from you Sharnie. I remember when you were going for transplant.

When my specialist said 30% that was without ongoing GVHD so yes we are pretty much in agreement Sharnie. I don't stress about statistics either - was originally told 18 mths to 2 years and it's now almost 3 years since diagnosis and I am feeling better than I did then, and am stable except for white cells, for which my average drops about 0.5 every year so far. MDS is a certainly a highly individualised disease.
