What can I expect?
I've been diagnosed with MDS and will be receiving an allogeneic stem cell transplant from my brother at the Mayo Clinic Hospital in Phoenix. I've been living with the diagnosis for about 4 years now (I'm 50), have been in and out of "the system" due to lack of insurance, but now that I'm back on, so is the transplant. I've received a course of Dacogen treatment (last year) and 2 blood transfusions (in the past 2 months). I'm just curious about what to expect with the stem cell transplant - anyone out there had a similar experience they can share? Thanks to any and all of you who are here to discuss and help.
