? Bone marrow results
Hello Chirley
I am sorry to hear the results of your BMB. I am not familiar with your variety of MDS. Revlimid is approved for myeloma in oz and sometimes the drug companies provide some drug free on compassionate grounds.
Perhaps they may not be suitable treatments for your type. If you google your type+ the drug you may come up with some statistics as to effectiveness. Revlimid is not approved because it is not effective for the majority of types but the drs can ask for special approval if there is evidence that it may work.
I know there is age limit for a BMT . Good luck with your research.
Helen
