Hi Deb,
Hope your husband's counts will hold! ANC 1.7 is much better than 1.1.
You know MDS means Myelodysplatic Syndromes. Syndromes means diseases that have some symptoms in common for example low counts in one, two or three cell-lines and mis-shaped blood cells in the bone marrow. There are many types of MDS and this makes the treatment so difficult because we are so different.
Don't feel that you at once should understand the classifications of this disease (actyally these diseases).
You should follow
hemoglobin (HGB)
white blood cells (WBC)
the most important of the WBS called neutrophils. The neutrophils are about 50% of the WBC. ANC means absolut neutrophil count.
platelets
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
