I used the calculation tool and came up with an IPPS of 1.5 as Intermediate 2 but then I don't have MDS!! I have Cu deficiency.
BMB shows dysplasia in reds and whites, blood has 2 sometimes 3 cytopenias and ringed sideroblasts of 78%, blasts of 7% with one other chromosomal abnormality (del 15 q). add them together you get the 1.5
It makes you realize why it's so hard for doctors to diagnose hematological disorders.
Regards
