Mother Just Diagnosed
Dear Suzanne;
Sorry to hear of your mother's recent diagnosis but as you have time to read more of the posts, you will read of people who have had MDS for more than 4 years. The average for my husband's MDS-RCMD was 2.4 years but he has just about beat that. You have to remember that with averages some people unfortunately die earlier but by the same token some live longer. No one is "average" in terms of statistics.
Keep reading. Get the numbers but don't be discouraged. Good luck to your mother.
Joan
