Dear Mark,
You may have already gone throught the BMT, but I wanted to share with you that my Brother had his BMT over 9 years ago. He had MDS also. I was his donor & we matched 5 out of 5 HLA. While I would never say it was easy & his recovery was perfect, I will let you know that after 6 weeks he made small but steedy improvements. He never got graft vs host disease & returned to the full demands of his job in approx. 6 months. Yes, get the best possible care from the most experience center that is available to you. Good luck to you & Thank God for your sister. She loves you very much.
Mary
