My mother has had MDS for 5 years. Because of her age she is can't get a BMT (she was 75 when she was diagnosed). Since then they've watched her numbers carefully and she's gotten Procrit/Aranesp injections. Today she has her second blood transfusion in two months.
Congrats on finding a match! Until this disease hit I'd never thought much about marrow donors or blood donors!
