Symbol for Folks with AA & MDS

Image by Knomad
Our friend Barney has MDS (myelodysplastic syndrome). Nowadays he is in the hospital receiving radiation to kill his bone marrow in preparation for a bone marrow transplant Friday. If all goes nicely he will be in the hospital for a minimum of 6 weeks.

This bracelet is a symbol of the Aplastic Anemia & MDS International Foundation, which is the oldest and largest patient advocate and support organization for bone marrow diseases, offering life-saving hope, knowledge, and support to hundreds of thousands of patients and their families around the world.

Please upload this photo to your own photo stream to show your support for Barney and the thousands of other people who have bone marrow diseases and tag it with BRAVERY.

Also my spouse SplinterGroup was diagnosed with MDS two weeks ago. He took the photo of the bracelet which was a gift from Barney.
