My 27 yr old daughters MDS and SCT JOURNEY

Hi Marrow ,

I thought each day, week , month I would try to type a little something about my daughters journey with her MDS and SCT .
She finished her 4th cycle of Vidaza and her counts have gone rock bottom already . Platelets they dropped to 32 the first week after Vidaza was done, but they are always the first numbers to come back up.
She is still needing mag. and blood once or twice a week .

Testing that will need to be done before SCT for BMT Doctor and Insurance company .
We got permission from the insurance company to do outpatient SCT and we will staying at a apartment near the hospital . We will have to go to the hospital everyday . For fluids , Blood ect.
