Encouraged by Iris/ollie

Iris and Ollie,
I am greatly encouraged by Ollie at 92 with MDS. My husband was dx Sept 09. He is only in the beginning stages. I have read as many of the postings on this website and it has educated me SOME. I have read on line all I could find and I still look for different websites. I almost sent you a private message by thought others may need to see all postings. My husband is 88 and just stopped working last summer 2008. He has worked all his life and misses it greatly. Is Ollie able to do anything around the house? His Hg is 12.1 now. He has more bloodwork on Dec. 7th. I got the nurse to give me copies of his bloodwork and BMB(bone marrow biopsy. The doctor is not treating him all now. Wait and watch.
Thanks for posting.

Ed,
your postings have helped me also. Everyone please keep posting with your numbers and treatments, so that I will at least be aware of them when we go to the dr. again.
