Temodar
Hi Margie:
It is not unusual for pts to go through CA treatment and then later end up with a dx of MDS. Temodar is a cytotoxic agent that may cause very rare cases of MDS and secondary malignancies, including myeloid leukemiea.

Go to page 5 first and then, if you are up to a lot of medicalese, try going through all seven pages. This will answer your first question, but I know there will always be more questions popping up when dealing with MDS.
Best wishes.
