I have MDS. I turned 70 this year and because I appear to be strong enough at this point City of Hope Doctors have agreed to look for a donnor for me and implement a transplant on my bone marrow. The problem is finding a donnor. My children were not a match--so we're still looking. I am on my third Vidaza treatment and haven't had a transfusion in 31 days. I want to be positive and think that things will work out. I also pray.
