The Story Continues...

Diagnosed on Friday with MDS. I'm a bit overwhelmed with this actually. Platelets still around 20. Other counts ok. So I'm off the Rituximab trial because I don't have ITP.

Nothing to be done at the moment, except get on with my life.... so be it. Like to know more about MDS though. I will read a few posts I think. Go back to the hospital in a month and see what happens.

Life surely is a rollercoaster at times hey.

Just had a question though... if my platelets are around 20, do I need to have a medical card or bracelet, for an emergency situation, like a car accident or something horrible like that?
