Bailie, my understanding is that you can have MDS without any chromosome abnormalities.
I'm going to ask my haematologist if I can have another biopsy next time I see him, because except for WCC/neuts/lymphs my results this year have mostly been just within normal range and better than 4 years ago. No blasts are showing up in peripheral blood which I have tested every 4 weeks. I'm even wondering if I still have MDS. My results now look like they did when I just had idiopathic neutropenia.
Does anyone know of someone whose MDS has spontaneously resolved over time?
