Neil,
Just to add a few more details, I have had two rounds of cytoxan therapy-one for two years in the 1990's and another for 18 months in 2010-2011, so the diagnosis they are leaning towards is secondary MDS. They found dysplasia in my first biopsy in June 2011, but my last biopsy in April showed hypodysplasia with 10-20% cellularity and refractory anemia with ringed siderblasts.
I was hospitalized 5 times in 2010 and 5 times in 2011 for sepsis and abscesses. So far this year I have been in the hospital twice. I have received multiple transfusions, platelets and while hospitalized needed multiple neupogen injections.
Just anxious to have some answers......
