I was diagnosed with MDS at age 34 and the diagnosis went back and forth between it and ITP for 6 months because I had slight anemia (12/36) and dropping platelets (200 down to 90). My original BMB showed mild dysplasia but a year later a del13q (12-14). Let them watch and wait as long as possible. Some people with MDS that are diagnosed young don't have a lot of symptoms and a del20 has good prognostic outcomes. I will hope and pray that is the case with you. Best of luck!
