Info on MDS
The following is a web site with a good explanation:
http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/p...lastic/Patient
There is a GREG-H on one of the forums who has some good info on a web site he has I will see if I can find it.
There is also a prognosis or approximate life expectance depending upon the type of MDS he has and a number of other factors. I will see if I can find that.
Ask your doctor for a printout of the details of the type of MDS he has and the prognosis. Ask the doctor to high light his specific conditions.
