MDS Traveler
Hi Brenda,
I have low risk MDS and am currently under a "watch and wait" status. I agree with the others that suggest that each person's situation is unique. My HG is at the low end of normal, WBC is around 2.9, ANC at 0.87 and Platelets around 52.
In the past year I have gone to a resort in Mexico and have been on a cruise in the Carribean and one in in the Mediterrean. I have flown to each of these destinations as well.
My suggestion would be to speak to the Dr. in advance and carry your information with you just in case.
Janice
