Rosie,
Sorry to hhear about your diagnosis, but you are not alone. I was told I had MDS in Feb. 2010 at the age of 32. My MDS turned to AML in June of 2010. My DR. (DR. Kropf), at Temple Jeanes Clinic, advised me I needed a bone marrow transplant. My brothers were not a match so they had to go to the search. They found a 9 out of 10 match, and I was transplanted Aug. 31st. The process was not an easy one but it gets better. A positive attitude will do you a world of good. Listen to your body. If you are tired, take a nap. I would recomend freezing some embryos before you go through treatment. I had to freeze my sperm and good thing I did because it is dead now. I am also happy to say my wife is 12 weeks 4 days! I hope you have a good support group as well because it will change your life style for a while. Best of luck with everything and I always say we only have 1 life so you better fight for it. Hope everyone has a GREAT day today!
Bob
