Hello I am David, caretaker of my wife Jaimie. I had a couple of posts before, but never an introduction. We went to the local hospital Jan. 12 due to some breathing issues. Initial blood work showed all three blood cell counts low. By Feb. 1 we had a diagnosis and were sent to John Hopkins the next day. Initial diagnosis was AML, but upon further review it was changed to MDS. My wife is 42 years old. We meet the first time with Dr. Carraway on Feb. 23, so at this time we do not know what treatment option we are going through or even what type and risk level of MDS my wife has. We live in west central Maryland.

Before all of this started, to us MDS stood for Multiple Dachshund Syndrome, which we also suffer from with having three of the little long guys.
