My MDS story started in early 2025, after routine bloodwork my primary was concerned that my counts were trending low so he sent me to a local hematoligist who did a series or tests and after being referred to memorial Sloan Kettering and more testing I was diagnosed with MDS in March of 2025. i was given a few rounds of Vidaza chemo and many transfusions then it was determined a bone marrow transplant was necessary. My emotions were up and down and MSK was right by my side. In July of 2025, I received my transplant at MSK and I am forever grateful for my unknown donor and my MSK team. Recovery was tough but almost 6 months later I finally feel stronger and feel like my old self. Anyone who is starting this journey, keep a positive attitude and a strong mind and body mindset. You will get thru this and your doctors, nurses, support team will be with you every step of the was.
