One Voice Inspires, Many Voices Transform
Patient
In March 2024 I went to give blood (which I have been doing regularly for the last 35 years). I was told that my Hb was a bit low so had a FBC which showed a pancytopaenia (low Hb, White cells and platelets). After extensive tests and a bone marrow biopsy I was diagnosed with high risk MDS with a life expectancy of 6 -1 5 months without a stem cell transplant. In Dec 2024 I had a MUD (matched unrelated donor) stem cell transplant. Since then my cell counts have almost returned to normal (Hb is a bit low 12,5) and I was able to return to work in July 2024
