mds prognosis
Hi Janet:
Sorry about your husband and his diagnosis.
As far as longevity prognosis is concerned, my husband's doctor never gave us any sort of projections. Just said take it slowly and see how he responds to treatment. In the beginning he had pancytopenia (all blood lines very very low. Had 8 blood transfusion in one week and in addition two platelet transfusions. The neutropenia was very bad; but we were very very careful, isolated ourselves and did not socialize until levels came up to respectful levels. Lots of hard work but of course worthwhile.
Hope your husband responds well to treatment
Marianne
