Positive Outcome!

Yes, there are plenty of positive outcomes. My husband is 17 months out. Still tapering immunosuppressants. He has had very little GvH. he is the most compliant person. Does as he has been instructed, doesn't take risk nor cut corners. So may people go into transplant thinking once the procedure is done the journey is done. It has just begun. It is a gift of time. Rick is cured of MDS! He was taking only one med prior to transplant. He still takes 18 pills a day. The body needs time to adjust and repair. Someday he maybe off these meds but right now Life is good. That was the goal to be alive and active again.
It wasn't easy but well worth it.
