Hi, Anne.

Welcome to Marrowforums. We're always sorry when someone has to join us because of bone marrow disease, but I think you'll find a very supportive community here. If you ask a question, someone in the group is bound to know the answer, have a related experience to share, or know where to go to get the information you need.

I'm so impressed that the doctors think you are a good candidate for bone marrow transplant at age 70. When I was diagnosed in 1998, I felt like I was already too old for a transplant at 43 but I felt very lucky to be at City of Hope. When they find a donor for you, it sounds like you'll be ready to benefit from all the improvements in transplant technology and nursing care that have taken place since the "old" days. In the meantime, you seem to be getting a good response to Vidaza. Have you have many side effects?

Regards,
Ruth Cuadra
