awesome report

bochs4;
We celebrate with your brother Jeff in being brought back from this downward spiral.
Yes, there are never enough answers in these situations and I know with MDS it gets wild when looking for answers because with today's internet there are so many answers and often I have to draw back from search and seeking and allow myself to look at the whole picture.
These forums definitely help a lot.
You must have a good set of doctors and medical support people. A blessing to be sure.
This is one major problem with low platelets in that a patient who has low platelets and needs critical surgery the options are limited.
What an awesome report.
All the best to Jeff.
Stand strong and keep the faith.
