Hi towncarlady and Lee,
For towncarlady: I read info about Trisomy 8 that says that 67% of patients who have trisomy 8 as the sole abnormality in de novo MDS responded to ATG. Perhaps you could ask your doctor about that?

For Lee: Good that you know so much about your disease
but it is really too much that you have to take all this responsibility yourself.
Kind regards
