Suspected MDS?

After bouts of malaise several years ago, two and half a years ago they did a bone marrow biopsy on me. Then again half a year ago, saying that I have a suspected MDS - but can't be proven with certainty. Apparently some disturbance in all cell lines, normal cytogenetics. Meanwhile, these years my whites have hovered around 3700-4500, reds at 3.8, heglobin 12-13, and no problems with platelets. Lymphocytes always about 1.1. Suffering with bouts of dizziness, that has come nearly a fainting feeling.
So I am confused, as to do I *really* have MDS? My hemo wants to see me in about half a year; the blood values are stable. So is this the watch-and- wait?
I wonder, are there other people around who might have had MDS for ten-twenty years-?
