Thank you.) "I am a 64-year-old woman with myelodysplasia who is considering a transplant with a matched unrelated donor. I was treated for lymphoma three years ago. I would like to hear from anyone who is around my age and who has undergone a transplant with a matched unrelated donor." E. M. "I am the foster parent of a 14-month old child who had a bone marrow transplant earlier this year. The hospital where he was treated did not have access to protective masks that would fit an infant's face, and needed to cut down adult masks to the proper size, which was not optimal. I am interested in hearing from anyone who might know of suppliers of protective masks that are suitable for children." S. T. "My 18-year-old son with Down's Syndrome has ALL and needs a bone marrow transplant. We'd like to hear from others whose child with Down's Syndrome underwent a transplant." D. L. I am a 39-year-old male who had a bone marrow harvest in February 2001. I am still experiencing significant discomfort in my lower back. I would like to hear from anyone who had a similar experience." J. M.
