Dan, I'm sorry to hear that your MDS has progressed. You have been a big support to others on this forum. May I ask what your Hb was before the recent value of 10 and have your platelets dropped also?? It always bothers me a bit when the BM blasts numbers are borderline, i.e. when 4 % gives you a lower IPSS score and 5% puts you in the higher risk transplant category. (especially when there is variability in reading the BM from one hematopathologist to another). But I guess the fact that your cytopenias have worsened also is concerning. Sometimes I will have a few blasts reported in the peripheral count and then they go away on next count. I know that you have done your homework in researching this stuff and I wish you the best of luck. Tytd
