The AAMDS Org presentation I discussed in my earlier posting, did aknowledge MDS as cancer, however the Dr. does mention the MDS "shadowlands".

Giving something a "label" can be a beneficial thing.

hope this helps

yes, i have seen your quote and much appreciated. thank you for guiding me in the right direction, and for all your help. i am learning that the more i understand about mds, the less 'threatening' i feel-if that makes any sense?
