[Jadon]

My dad was dignose with MDS last Oct 2010. Doctor told us that he was still in a rather early stage of MDS and if treated well he would still have many years with us.

He was in his Fifth cycle of Vidaza and was feeling weak.

2 mths ago in July, he suddenly caught a fever and started vomiting. He was then admited into the hospital. He was in there for a month. transfusing blood and platelet everyday. He kept on fighting but eventually lost the battle 3 weeks ago.

I'm writing this because i want to let people know don't believe what one doctor says and seeks a few more opinions and treatment decisions needs to be made wisely. Dont treat MDS lightly as Low white blood count means you are very prone to infection.

Its not even a year and i lost him.... i miss him everyday. he is a great man.

We were all there when he took his last breath. He was only 59 when i lost him... i wish i had more time with him.

To everyone.. dont give up.

" I'll keep on fighting " - Thats what my dad said till the last day.
