Grandpa has MDS and many questions....

I am doing some research for my Grandpa who was recently diagnosed with MDS and is awaiting the results of his spinal aspiration to see if the disease has progressed to Luekemia. He is 90 yrs. old so I thought I would find some support groups to get some 1st hand info on what he can expect. I'm not sure of all the details, but he is concerned about the side effects of the shots they want him to take over the next 6 months. A head nurse told him it would be very painful and he would get very sick but the doctor told him to expect an upset stomach. If anyone can help shed some light with some personal accounts, I and my family would greatly appreciate it. Thanks,
Becki, a concerned Granddaughter.
