New member (mom with mds)
Hi All
My mom was diagnosed with MDS (RARS) in the low risk group in May. She is 63 and her doctor has told her she was about 4.8 years of life left. Her hematologist has told her there are no drugs, treatment and she'll just have to play the "wait and see game". Her follow-up appointment is in July. I have been lurking on this website for a little while and have read about different drugs and treatments. Are these drugs not available in Canada? Why hasn't her hematologist told her about these drugs? Sorry for all the questions but I'm desperate here. My mom has so much to live for and thinking she only has 4 years left really frightens me.
Thanks for listening!
