Thanks to all

I had a stint placed in the back side of my heart some 5 years ago. I have had several check ups since without any problems. My doctor said I would not survive the transplant. I will have to ask him why next week. I am able to travel and Bham is only 1 1/2 hours away. I consider myself in good physical condition other than this MDS thing. It was found during a routine physical a year ago. I was complaining of fatigue way before that.

I have thought about a second opinion but the process takes time.

There was a question asked about my friend who died from MDS and his problems with the transfusions. He never really got to feeling any stronger and after several transfusions, his veins began to collapse. They eventually installed a port. His wife strongly suggested I have a port installed early. What are the thoughts on that? I do not know how to read all the info on the report I receive each after each shot. Is there an app that will help me to understand the results? Thank you again, Mike
