Can anyone share a personal feel-good story on receiving a stem-cell transplant to battle

MDS? We need some good vibes.
Thanks.

1. Not specific to MDS but my buddy Honolulu had a stem cell transplant for leukemia and she is still

Here years later, thriving, vibrant with good health, happy and well.

Good luck to your family.

Well, MDS is essentially "leukemia". I think they just couch it in a acronym that isn't so awful sounding.

3. I have multiple myeloma and had my stem

cells harvested for later but haven’t had the transplant. Sorry not to be able to relate to MDS, but do know a lot of MM patients who've had a transplant since it has been a standard of care, though more common. are autologous vs the allogeneic your wife will be getting. One noteable patient I know, a leader in our community, was on death’s door and got an allogeneic from his brother as salvage. That was ~ 15-20 yrs ago I think and he is basically cured, and ‘cure’ isn’t a common word with MM.

All the best to your wife, and you, as you two navigate through this.
