Never is easy . . .

Hi: While I am at the other end of life (over 80) I surely never expected such a thing to happen to me. My husband died in 2000 from Myelodysplasia - think it wasn't a shock when they tell me five years later that I have the same? No - it is not sexually transmitted (so they tell me) and there is no way I could have contracted it from him while caring for him (so they tell me). Had another shot of Aranesp today. Progress is great - no transfusions yet. Hopefully for all you younger ones, science will bring something for you that is not available now. I pray for your safety and well being.

With Blessings to you all, Vernette
