Sad news

Hi everyone. I have been watching this forum for some time but only posted once. Unfortunately my husband passed away August 5th from complications of his transplant. I'm still having a hard time of it and find it hard to even believe sometimes. He was only diagnosed having MDS August of last year from a routine blood test and later a BMB because of low counts. He became transfusion dependant soon after of both red blood and platelets.Of his 8 siblings only his older sister was a perfect match. He was 61 and we had such high hopes. His transplant was on May 5th and everything went well until about 4 weeks after when he developed grade 4 skin gvhd. Downhill from there. I hate this disease and hope everyone on this board has a better experience.
