Hi Anne, My name is Rob and I was just diagnosed with MDS last month. My blood counts are very similiar to your husbands. I am supposed to start Dacogen Monday, however I need some outpatient surgery for skin cancer issues so I think it may be put off for now. From what I have read it sounds like the side effects of Dacogen aren't too bad for the most part. Good luck to you two.
