Diana,
My hematologist tested for the copper and cerluplasm once they realized I had MDS. They said it was routine. Copper deficiency can mimick MDS! The studies and journals have already proven that. I also found out I have a mutation in the Atp7b gene and the Cerluplasm gene. Which is responsible for the transportation and metabolism of copper and iron.
I urge you to urge the doctors to test your copper serum. If it comes back low have them check your Cerluplasm serum. Just a simple blood test. If they both come back low they need to do genetic copper panel test that includes Atp7a, Atp7b, Ap1S1, CP, and SLC33A1.
My transplant doctor informed me I have beaten all the odds and should have progressed into AML already. So I’m doing great! Right now anyways... I have started a Facebook group for the atp7a and atp7b genes. You can look it up if you use Facebook.
I will pray for you! I hope you have a wonderful day. Please let me know if you have any questions. I’m willing to help.
Here is an example:
