I keep up with Dennis G., who has been dealing with MDS for the same length of time as I, and rcvd. stem cells (PBSCT-unrelated donor) on 9/9/06 in Phoenix. I have rcvd. updates and news through another list (BMT) that we are also on and wanted to share these with you through AA-MDS and marrowforums.org.
His is having a tough time. On Sat. his heart rate went way up but is now getting almost normal. He is on a respirator and dialysis. He is going through tremors but they have him on 24 hr. Fendanyl drip.
His wife Nancy, is by his side at Phoenix hospital.
Sun. update: They put him on med. called Cardium and organizing more tests for him. Dialysis is still showing nothing.
Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
