low hemoglobin 1 year after stem cell transplant

I am wondering if anyone has experienced what I have and might have a creative solution. I am one year out from an otherwise very successful stem cell transplant for MDS. My sister's stem cells are fully engrafted and my WBCs and platelets are solid. I still however have low hemoglobin and I have 2-3 transfusions a month. My doc thinks my strommal cells were damaged when I had breast cancer 20 years ago (chemo caused the MDS) but she thinks they are slowly healing. We tried promacta, steroids, and immunosuppressants. Anyone else have this situation and can shed light? I would be very grateful

Rebecca
