Mild MDS
Hi Maggie,
Welcome to the site!
I was diagnosed June 07 with intermediate MDS. At first, it seemed like a death sentences but now I am learning to live with it.
I did go for a second and third opinion and I found a great doctor here in Monterey, CA, and I go for consultation to Stanford Medical Center.
It's hard at first but it is important to become well informed and this site is great for that.
Please feel free to ask any questions and I am sure someone here will come up with a helpful answer.
Survival for mild and intermediate MDS is not too bad and some people live for many years in pretty good shape.
Keep your spirits up and enjoy every day as they come.
Best regards,
Kitty
Where do you live?
