Lillian,

Welcome to Marrowforums. It sounds like you and Randy have enough experience with medical issues to run a forum of your own! It is amazing that with all Randy has been through, he's never needed transfusions. There are several people on this list who have posted about their experiences with Revlimid. I hope you'll let us know how it goes for Randy.

You are right that people shouldn't necessarily believe the prognoses that may come with an MDS diagnosis. Many people live for years with a good quality of life and the new treatments that have become available in the last few years are extending the lives of patients even further.

Regards,
Ruth Cuadra
