This is my first time on this forum. My husband was diagnosed with severe aplastic anemia at age 39- and it has been a life changing experience. Although it was incredibly unfortunate to be diagnosed with this disease, we were so lucky that his brother was a bone marrow match. After intense treatment to get his body "ready" for the transplant, I must tell you that it was a success! However, I would be lying to you if I told you if I told you that he feels great now. He has nerve damage and joint pain from the chemo; however, he is happy to be with us and our two boys (who were 4 and 2 at the time). Every day is a new day and a gift. Keep a positive outlook and ask people for prayers and support (which you may have been already). God Bless You.
