I have also been told that I probably have MDS. They are still analyzing my bmb, so I have started to prepare myself. The more I read, the worse I feel. The waiting is tough. There isn't much I can do until I get more info about the type etc. Anyways, I think this is a great forum, and I want to thank you for all the useful information and resources.

Welcome, fblauer.

I'm sorry you have to be here. Many of us know what it's like to first hear that shocking news from a doctor. Please let us know what you learn after they analyze your bone marrow biopsy. Without those results, you can't yet be sure of your diagnosis.

If you haven't already contacted the Aplastic Anemia and Myelodysplasia Association of Canada (AAMAC) and gotten their information packet, now is the time to do so. AAMAC contact information is in their Marrowforums Welcome Message.

Get your info packet and join us and we will all pull each of us through this. I know the wait is tough and preys on your mind, I know it did for me, but hang in there. You are not alone, remember that! You also get free prayers here.:D
