To give the Dr. the benefit of the doubt, I would guess you heard wrongly. I was diagnosed on my first biopsy as MDS/AML because my blasts were at 19 percent and close to the recognized threshold of 20 percent. Within a week I had my second BMB which showed 9-11 percent and MDS. I think under 5 percent is something to note, but doesn't necessarily indicate MDS if all other factors are "normal".
Good luck and keep us posted.
