My Dad has MDS he’s deteriorating before my eyes
Hi again Varment and well done navigating across to this corner of the Community.
Let’s see if there are any members who are caring for family looking in who can give you some support.
It’s so unfortunate that your dad can not go forward for Stem Cell Transplant but a heart condition is one of the big stumbling blocks that can stop being presented for the treatment. I actually have had two Donor Stem Cell Transplants and the journey was rather challenging and I now have a heart condition that was caused by the treatments used.
