I am curious why they have your husband on "watch and wait"? With RAEB-2 without medication, what is the doctor "watching and waiting" for? At that stage I don't think there is any time to wait for anything from everything I have read and experienced. Is it the medical system that is letting him down? I was walking six miles playing golf (walking the 6 mile hilly course) and felt fine right up to my stem cell transplant. Feeling fine can mask the underlying severe condition.

I'm sorry he broke his leg and ankle. There may or may not be problems resulting, but a very close eye is important. We wish him a speedy recovery.
