Another IPSS score site
Hello Sandar L
The following site talks again about MDS and this one has has a some good IPSS charts, especially the bottom two.
You do need some data to plug into these charts.
As you go through the forums here you will see that life expectancy is often a gray area and can be simply a shot in the dark.
Many people in these forums have beat the odds by many years.
Also the IPSS scores always submit life expectancies as means. This means 50% above and 50% below the projected figure.
