MDS diagnosed Sept 09
My husband Jim will be 88 next month(Nov.09) and was recently diagnosed with MDS. The doctor is doing nothing for him at this time. We go back to the doctor in December and he will do bloodwork again. His hg is 12 so I assume that is the reason for no treatment now. I have been reading on this website and have learned a lot but now realize that I have SO much more to learn. Should I talk to the doctor about some treatment now or wait until his Hg gets lower? After reading the post that lots of you have shared, I will call and get copy of his bloodwork and BMB so that I can see all his numbers. If any of you have advise, please, I welcome it ALL.
Thanks
Mary in Alabama
