    I am glad that George is home. It always seems better to get home around familiar things.
    Try to keep a positive attitude and enjoy each day as it comes to you.

    Ron your note to all of us is very appreciated. The comment about Neil is so appropiate. He is such a wealth of information. I know that many of us can relate our experiences as they have happened to us, but Neil can give so much more and he does it freely. Barbra has done a great amount of research and also passes it on to us.

    My prayers are with you as well as everyone else on the forum both the caregivers and the patients.

    Take care and enjoy your time with the kids and all.

    I, also, am enjoying the running commentary between you two. It has given me some well needed chuckles.
    Hope you can keep it up.
    Please NO Hillary.

    Doreen: If you graft the donors marrow or stem cells, they become yours and you should not have a chromosome abnormality. That way you have a cure.
    I had a remission with meds. The 5q- was gone and it has now come back. I am no longer in remission.
    The only cure is the transplant.
    Hope this helps.

    Hi John:
    There are a few side effects. Some of them sort of came with the MDS for me. I have diahrrea, but is controlled with imodium. I do have some neuropathy in my hands, but still have all the feeling. They just tingle all the time. I also have tinnitus, which I have always had, but it is more noticeable. Some of the things are results of aging, but I can blame them on the MDS or the drugs. Makes me feel a little bit better, as I do not consider myself old.

    :rolleyes:
    I take a 5 mg capsule daily. Started out with 10mg, but was too much for me and reacted to it.

    Wonderful news Suzanne. Hopefully this will keep you MDS free and you can go on and live your life. Of course with the cbcs it is worth giving a little blood in order to get good reports.
    Take care
    Naomi
