Hi, This is my first entry but I felt I had to reply. I am a 49 year old female and have been diagnosed since 1998. I am currently on Revlimid & Aranesp but I was on 'watch & see' status from 1998 to 2005. I have undergone the blood transfusions for a year, been on Procrit and Thalidomide. I am being seen at the City of Hope in California and will eventually have a donor-related BMT. Don't let anyone tell you that you are too old to have a BMT, especially at our age! I talked to one man at the City of Hope who successfully went through a BMT in his 70s.
