To the OP, I am in the same boat. My father was diagnosed with MDS about a two months ago. Mid 60's. I been doing the same thing and guess reading the same articles too, because I also been reading those gloomy outcomes.
I have three kids and one sibling and worry and starting thinking about MDS and everybody else. I heard people can survive for a long time, so keep you hope alive. I am worried about my father, and doing crazy amounts or research. He got his revlimid a week ago, and been taking it for about four days now.
Good luck with your parents, and dont get overwhelmed by the survival rates and stuff like that.
