Would really love to have someone to come to my appointments with me, and know someone is there when I need treatment. Don't like being alone. Jules
Hello Julianna

Sending again a big hug.
My dear, indeed we are in opposite sites... I understand it when I read this post.
I understand that you need someone on your side and I need health professional support.
I wish we could be near each other.
But as we aren't, please know that you can count on me.

Regarding MDS after AA, I have read about it but not explaining why.
When my husband was having shot to stimulate WBC production, however, I was told by nurses, that this treatment would be the less possible to avoid future MDS. Jorge only had 3 shots, 2 weeks apart from each one.
By that time I learned that this WBC stimulation must be very parcimonious because it can trigger development of abnormal WBC.

Again, hang in there. You and Jorge will be fine!

Much Love.
