MDS

Hi Janet,
Remember that the most used tabels for survival are from 1997. Since then we have got much better treatments. Good that you read about Kirby Stone - he was a very brave man.

The staging of MDS is quite complicated. The % of blast (immature cells) in the bone marrow is very important. Save all results and follow them.

Hope your husband will get positive news next time he meets his doctor!
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
75 yo, dx MDS Interm-1 (RCMD) 2006. Txs dependent at dx with HGB 7.0. Supportive treatment until 2010. Thalidomide 2010-13. Now taking Revlimid.
