Hi i have low grade myelodysplasia and am red cell deficient.with times of a high white cell count.
my age is 72 this november .i have been led to believe here in australia, that other than transfusions, nothing else can be done for me.
is this right??
It may be my fault ,that i have this opinion, but so many pages and pages of information on the net all i feel you need a degree to understand properly.i just get bogged down with it all .My GP here in the town i live in !!well!! he knows less that i do....
My specialist is an oncologist, hematologist.reputed to be the smartest in the state.i live 5 houirs from him, so only get to see him twice a yearand that is so rushed as he is such a busy man.i feel i need to pin him down and ask more question. i was diagnosed 15 months ago.
is there any one that can share their thoughts on something to try to get the red cell count elevated?? i have read that exercise is very good for the bone marrow .i need to hear the folk who actually have this disease...i look forward to hearing from any one ...thanks so much aussie danielle
