Vitimin D3?

First TracyN11, to answer your question.

My GP raised questions about my declining ANC round about 2008. At that time was slightly below normal range, about 2, but a review of my annuals shows a many year gradual decline. By 2011 it was .6. Following a full workup my DX was idiopathic neutropenia. Neupogen brought it back up. Having no symptoms I chose to ignore it until the skin abcess parade of 2014. Then the DX? MDS. ANC .28. 1/2 year ago, ANC .08.

I am startled at your very rapid progression and seeming rush to BMT. But if I understand things correctly, MDS is a spectrum of disorders, and maybe what makes sense for you does not for me.

OK. Cheryl. My question. What is vitimin D3? What hypothesis if any supports its use against MDS? Remission is fantastic, but how do we know it is due to D3?
