loxie59,

Recovery depends on so many factors that I don't think you'll find statistics about the prognosis for a patient in your partner's age range and health condition who has had an NHL transplant followed by an MDS transplant.

It's known that secondary MDS is more difficult to treat successfully, but a transplant "wipes the slate clean" in a sense. I don't mean that your partner is out of danger, just that the MDS may be gone. What matters now is post-transplant care and recovery. City of Hope is an excellent transplant hospital (my wife had her transplant there) so I know that you are in good hands.
