MDS Remission

Signed in today to share my good news! Yesterday was my 4 year anniversary of my success with Dacogen, and my counts are at an all time high hgb 14., platelets 245, wbc 3.8. Then I read your message asking about remission. The doctors tell me that I am in remission (not like other cancers) I must continue the treatments each month--no argument there! I know that the success of treatments depends alot on the subtype, age, other health issues, etc. and response is different for each of us; but, I hope that I can give some hope to others just beginning their treatments!!!
