Do men cry?

Hello all,
This is my first time I post in this forum, and please be patient and understand my problem. For me MDS is very new, never heard about before, and just 3 short months ago I never taught I will ever hear this word. Last year in November I had a blood test as a result of a annual check up, and all the tests come back positive. All but the white blood cell count which for the last year and a half was slightly below normal. My doctor had me re-checked every 3 months to keep an aye on this. The same the specialist my Hematologist who had the same wait and see attitude. But in my next blood test in January all the results where bellow normal. Immediately after this the doctor had me do a bone marrow biopsy and the result: I was diagnosed with MDS. The specialist's interpretation was very optimistic. According to him there isn't any cancer, and he send me home
to wait and have another test 3 months later. Today I had the results, and they are even lower then the January test.
01/17/14 05/02/14
white blood cell count 2.9 2.7
red " " 4.40 4.11
hemoglobin 12.6 11.7
hematocrit 37.3 34.5
platelet count 128 155
absolute neutroph. 1344 1431
This is all I know, for the last 3 months I read all I can in this forum and try to put some sense in everything. I do not understand much, probably I am to
scared and confused to make sense of anything, but I am a Christian and pray to my savior and see what my doctor will say next Tuesday. What do you guys think? I'll add to this after my visit with the specialist.
Thanks
