Paul, When diagnosed the odds were 4% that with out a transplant I would live 3 years and still have MDS. 30% odds that with a transplant that I would be cured in 3 years. At a year and a half most of my CBC are in range, the rest are close. Doctor thinks the odds of relapse are very small and "it is nice to see a success story for a change". The road to recovery was full of potholes but I don't give up. Currently I have mild to moderate GVHD of eyes and mouth so I am still indefinitely on my transplant medications. I exercise 45 minutes a day 7 days a week. For what I have been through I feel like I am cured and in excellent condition with a few minor problems.
Thanks for inquiring.
Ray
