Thank you for letting us know.
Thank you for sharing this information. I just got diagnosed. I'm 64 years old and I have stage 4 lung cancer and ms. I hope 🙏🏼 I can beat this! This is my 5th time fighting cancer. I am trying to learn as much as I can to fight. I read that the bone marrow transplant could heal MDS and stop the progression of MS. Do you agree with these findings? Thank you for your time and services. ❤️🙏🏼✝️

Thank you for reaching out to us. Getting a correct diagnosis can be challenging and it is always a good idea to get a second opinion. Getting a second opinion will help you gather additional information about a diagnosis, confirm that the diagnosis is correct, and teach you more about treatment options. This will allow you to make informed decisions about your son's medical care.

tweezers & histology / cytology. hail the lord !
My daughter has it my son has passed and my other son has health issues. The town where we live had a mill that made telephone poles and the toxic water they had as infants. Can this cause aplastic anemia?
My daughter was admitted to the hospital because of her urine was black she w is yellow and her hemoglobin’s were 4.3 and with her diagnosis her California insurance changed and the only doctor in LosAngels don’t accept her insurance no longer. She has severe aplastic anemia. She also has a rare blood type. She is 35 7 children on experimental trials. Now her kidneys took a hit her liver and she is quickly dying now so this is a stretch for me to ask “ Is there any doctors that will accept her type insurance medi cal that is a specialist in aplastic anemia?
Please call our offices, Eastern time, at (800) 747-2820, option 2 or email help@aamds.org. We want to try to help but we need more information, thank you!
The empathy that is seen in these healthcare providers are remarkable, so glad they are part of the health care system here. Thank you for this very insightful discussion and sharing your experiences
After 10 months of Eltrombopag my family member’s PNH Clone went from 87% to 5%! But the clone is back up after stopping Eltrombopag. Where can we report this?
Hi, we will respond tomorrow, thanks
Thank you for reaching out to us. Your family member should report any changes to their medical team.
Thank you for sharing this presentation. the information is most helpful.
My husband was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma on his 70th birthday last July. He got a stem cell transplant to give us more time. He's actually doing well. Numbers coming up nicely. This cancer has no cure but they are surely saving his life, and giving us more time. We've been married 45 years, I'm not ready! God bless you and all you help. We are seeing the top Oncologist in Dallas, giving us more time, spectacular. We are secluded for 90-100 days, making sure he doesn't catch any infection, so far so good!
Good news!
Buenos días saludos desde cumaná estado Sucre Venezuela me diagnosticaron con esa enfermedad, tengo 14 años es desesperante pero gracias por todo la información es muy buena..

Quais foram os seus sintomas?
What a wonderful man, so dedicated and comforting for his patients.
What about the patients children for getting stem cells for transplants?
Thank you for asking the question. Adult children can be a match for their parents. If not a full match, they can be a half match. Here is a webinar to watch about haploidentical transplants for MDS, www.aamds.org/webinar/haploidentical-transplant-mds.
The reason I ask is I have been dealing with this myself for about 2 years. It is just now developing a bone blast and we are looking at possible chemo and stem cell treatment. I am almost 61 yrs old. My youngest daughter said she would donate if needed. My brother is almost 68 yrs old . My doctor did not really want to use him . This has been a ride up and down for 2 years. I have just now been told this was possible leukemia. Thank you for the video you posted it was very informative and helpful. , @@AAMDSIF
Good talk, helpful for Beginners
Thanks a lot! Dr. Arellano, you are amazing!
How is the cost like?
Your question is difficult to answer. Please email help@aamds.org with more information in your question so we can try to answer you.
If you had an AML patient with mutations IDH2, SF3B1, ASXL1, NPM1 and a history of heart disease would you choose low intensity chemo with a menin inhibitor or high intensity chemo with a menin inhibitor?
We always recommend you consult a specialist to answer specific health questions.

I had an allogeneic peripheral blood HSCT in July 2016, same gender, same blood type, 10 out of 10 HLA match. I have had chronic GVHD ever since the procedure; due to what I believe was mismanagement by multiple oncologists/hemotologists. My quality of life has been very difficult and caused me to go through my savings, sell my farm property, and I am still struggling with this GVHD condition. The only relief I have had and positive reduction in the symptoms were with IV mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), and exosomes. This type of treatment is not available in the US and not covered by insurance. There have been many clinical trials investigating this type of treatment (MSCs) with the conclusion stating that more and better controlled clinical trials should be conducted. With the damage done by chemotherapy and the resulting acute & chronic GVHD, these regenerative treatments should be available to the cancer patient that survives. One aspect not covered in this presentation is the role that hemochromatosis would have in exacerbating chronic GVHD, morbidity, and mortality in SCT patients. I would suggest that blood assays be done for patients that have undergone multiple red blood cell transfusions for ferritin levels. It might be good to test for the genetic predisposition of an individual HSCT patient to see if this is present. High ferritin levels exacerbate chronic GVHD, and could be present if the patient had multiple red blood transfusions or has the gene for hemochromatosis. IMHO over 45 years of doing SCT and the ability to mitigate GVHD is still not solidified. The use of mesenchymal stem cells and exosomes has not been pursued in the same interest as in a pharmaceutical solution. I was put on Rezurock, and after 30 days developed severe musculoskeletal pain such that I had to discontinue the medication, and I believe it damaged my thymus.
Hi sir, my 7 mons baby boy is just diagnosed prca. Is it curable i am so worried. Feel dying 😭 his physical conations including feeding and weight is normal.
Thank you for reaching out. We are sorry to hear your son has been diagnosed with PRCA. The only known cure is a bone marrow transplant but the disease can also be managed with drug treatments. There is a support group for PRCA patients and families on Facebook, facebook.com/groups/190747420942986. You will find this group helpful.
