Hello! I'm so thankful to have found this forum! After almost 13 years of good blood counts from my hATG/cyclosporin/steroid treatment for Aplastic Anemia, I'm confronted with concerning cbc results again. I've read that secondary MDS is a possiblity for those of us treated with ATG for AA. Right now my counts aren't bad, but they are definitely not normal. My hemaglobin is 11.4, wbc are 2.8, rbc are 3.12, platelets are 114, and MCV is 107. I was wondering if anyone else here is experiencing secondary MDS as a result of ATG with AA. If so, did you see a slow decline with your counts or a rapid one? I guess I'm basically looking for someone to chat with about it. My hematologist has been trying to avoid a BMB for me because he knows I hate them, but it's looking like I may be looking at that soon. Boo.
