He did have tightness in his hands where the tendons in the palm of his hands were rigid. This subsided a few years ago. He hasn't taken any prescription drugs for over 3 years. This transplant has been a total success. It is wonderful that they are doing SCT so soon after diagnosis. My husband suffered with MDS for over 10 years before his transplant. My husband is 70 years young and you would never guess it to look at him. This has been a new lease on life. We thank the Lord everyday.

Wow your story is truly inspiring! I hope and pray that He will have the same outcome as your husband. So far the only complaint he has is fatigue and needs a daily afternoon nap but his Hgb is sitting around 8.5. I am a nurse so I will be with him every step of the way. Thank you for your story
