Hi Sandy.
Oh it's so nice to have another trransplantee here! There are five of us here who had ours this summer, but no one since then. What day are you by now?
I had the same sort of MDS as you (hypoplastic) and it seems to be the best one to have if you're going in for a transplant. The last 8+ months have been rough for me, but I'm in a much much better place now than I was last year this time. I saw the Dr today and he said my Hb (14.1!) is probably higher than his right now.
Be strong and get through these next few months and you'll be planning your first anniversary before you know it, wondering where the time went!
